Mixed Libraries

I got a mixed folder with series and movies. Thats because there are many series that also got movies.
Actually i set up the folder as series library and also as movie library.
But in this case I got each episode from a series also inside of the movies tab (without allocation) and also i got movies inside of the series library.

Is there a better way to deal with it?
It would be enough, if i can remove each series from the movie library by hand. But I’m only able to delete it completely.

Plex does not support movies and series in the same library.

  • Use a Movies library for movies.
  • Use a TV Shows library for your TV shows / series.
  • Follow Plex naming requirements for each.
  • You may need to Plex Dance your media after any renaming/reorganizing.

Edit: You can use collections to group movies and TV shows.

If you tag the movies and shows with the same collection, they will appear together in the Movies or TV Show library under the collection name. You must also edit the library and enable collections.

Example with Star Wars movies and TV shows:

Ok, thank you for the fast response. It’s not the best solution for me but it will work.

I didn’t have a Tags Tab on the Left. Do I have to activate the function?

Shouldn’t need to activate it. If you’re not seeing the Tags tab in a TV show, you’re probably editing a season, rather than the show. If you’re not seeing it in Movies, you might be editing a Collection (Plex may have automatically created movie collections when you created the library), rather than an individual movie.

Thanks, as you said I was looking for the tags in collections instead of the movies itself. now it looks much better :slight_smile:
