I just started a new Plex server and I need help designing what my concert video section will look like. Plex has an embarrassment of choices for setup and wanted to run my idea by some more experienced users.
The Desired Outcome
I want to be able to play the whole concert or mix and max certain songs into video playlists
My Setup
Add the mkv file for the whole concert in a library called concerts.
Add the tracks into a different library for singles
Make a collection that has the whole concert version and the singles in it.
Have you considered linking the concert as “extra” to your regular music library?
If you store the videos in a dedicated clips section or alongside your music library, the music videos will show on the artist page and music videos will be linked to matching tracks of that artist.
Using this mechanism, Plex will distinguish regular music clips, concerts, live music videos, lyrics music videos but also interviews or behind-the-scenes videos. https://support.plex.tv/articles/205568377-adding-local-artist-and-music-videos/
I’m doing something wrong.
I have a folder structure like this
Music
Nightwish - Showtime, Storytime
01 - Dark Chest Of Wonders - Nightwish Showtime, Storytime-concert.mkv
01- Dark Chest of Wonders - Nightwish - Showtime, Storytime.flac
But I don’t see the option to play the concert video in the UI
I have the local agent checked and did a refresh of the metadata.
What did I miss?
