So this has possibly been asked before, but I could not find the answer.
I am just starting to use Plex Server and I am in the process of turning my DVD collection stream able for my household. I’d like to try and Group certain things, Like Star Wars, Marvel, DC in sub groups. I’d like to take all of the Star Wars movies and put them in the same folder as the TV shows like Andor, Mandalorian, Clone Wars, etc as new shows come out. Same with Marvel. I’d like to have all of the MCU movies and TV shows in one folder. I don’t see any easy way to do this. Is it even possible?
No - Plex requires these to be explicitly separated.

You cannot mix them in one library.
If you find a movie listed as a “Special” episode on a tv show, you can add it into a TV show library.
See TheMoviDB.org and TheTVDB.com
What you want to use for “grouping”, are Collections.
If you create colections by the same name in both a movies and a tv show library, you will see content from both libraries listed when you enter the collection.
