Synology Model: DS220j
Player Version#: 1.24.4.5081
I’ve realized that my remote visitors can’t stream my Bond movies in HD - from the Blu-Rays. The DVD rips are normally <1GB in size, while the Blu-Ray rips are around 10GB. So I made a “James Bond” folder under movies, and a “James Bond - HD” folder under movies. All of the Blu-Ray rips have the same title, with the addition of " - HD". The years remain the same.
The problem is that ever since I made this change on my Synology drive, I can’t find all of the SD, nor HD files on Plex. I’ve done (on the Plex site) several “Movies > Refresh all Metadata”, and the same thing within the Libraries I set up.
What am I doing wrong to get all of these 24-6 movies properly classified within each of their folders so that everyone can see them?
Thank you in advance for your assistance,
Deej
Thanks for the file naming idea. I’ve changed all the Blu-Ray rips to the style you noted. And I do already have the SD and HD files separated on my Synology drive - within the Plex Movies folder - one folder named “James Bond” and one named " James Bond - Blu-Ray".
I’m going to try Plex again to see if I can find all the movies or not. Any ideas on how best to refresh the movies files so everything comes up?
As an afterthought - do all of my movies and TV shows have to be moved to the “PlexMediaServer” folder from the “Plex Videos” folder? Give the new Plex software update?
I have NOT moved anything to the MediaServer folder - I just wanted to ask.
I think I’ve found a solution to my problem. I was able to establish different collections outside of the main Movies folder, and all of the videos are available. I just have to do some updates to the names and posters, but I think I’ve got things solved. Not the way I would have wanted it, but it works.
Thanks for the insight!
