Can anyone suggest the best setup for me - as my current one doesn’t seem to work! I DVR some episodes that I want to watch immediately - and they end up in a section called TV Recordings on Plex. I download some of these same episodes later on when there is a higher quality version with commercials…

I needed to Plex Dance that season to get it to show up in the right library.
