How to get one movie to show up in more than one Plex library/folder?

General Discussions

I have a “regular” movie folder and a “kids movie” folder in Plex but I have several movies that could fit in both (for example, Shrek).
Is there a way to have an entry show up in each Plex folder without creating a second copy of the movie on the hard drive?

Make 3 folders on your disk

/Kiddiemovies
/Parentmovies
/Familymovies  <-- herein go the movies to show up for both parents and kids

Sort your movies accordingly into these folders.
Then create a Kids-Movie library and point it to both /Kiddiemovies and /Familymovies

Create a Parent-Movies library and point it to both /Parentmovies and Familymovies

I’m a Plex GNUBee and this was the first post I read. Most Excellent advice that I would have completely overlooked.
I am, however, unsure of how to point the Library to multiple folders?

Thanks Otto, I’ll give that a try. Are you any relation to the former Governor of Illinois?
