I need help adding movies

I can’t load my movies to the Plex media server

The picture shows how they are now

@Cooltwou_gmx_com
They should be in a folder called Movies (Or anything else really).
Then point Plex to THAT folder.
It will scan all your existing movies folders one level below that.

I do that it says it’s unable to load my content in the movies folder

Ahh. sorry.
I have seen it occasionally where a library doesn’t load, but usually it’s a temporary thing.
Is your server running on Windows? …or?

It’s on Windows 10 on my Laptop

I use windows 10 as a PMS too with no issues. Provide a screenshot of the updated library after changing from the original one.

I did provide the screenshot & that’s the way it is now & don’t have one the way it was before

Each movie shouldn’t be in its own folder. They should all be in 1 folder like c:/Movies, having all movies stored in 1 folder like @Xhaka mentioned.

To clarify. Each movie can be in its own folder, but do not load each folder path into plex.

Look for the section Folder Nesting

@Xhaka comment was to say that you should load the parent folder that holds all your movies in.
