Under plex web general I found this : Version 4.47.1 not sure what it refers to Hi! I would like to organize my movies and clips so that when I view my server on my windows PC or on my FIre box they are not in a total jumble. I notice that they display differently on the fire box and the windows…

First of all how are your files currently organized? Are you following the correct Plex format? Drive/Movies/Movie Title (Movie Year)/Movie Title (Movie Year).mkv Drive/TV Shows/TV Show Title (TV Show Year)/Season 1/TV Show Title S01E01.mkv Drive/TV Shows/TV Show Title (TV Show Year)/Season 2/TV …

As I stated, I uploaded them. I have no idea how to organize them that way without instructions on how to access this back end coded data. I am using the gui.

What you are referring to as ‘back end’ is just basic file organization. Do you know how to create folders and how to move and rename files in Windows?

If you’re using a Windows server how do you not know how to create folders/rename files?

Drive/Movies/Movie Title (Movie Year)/Movie Title (Movie Year).mkv All I did was upload my movies - which currently exist in folders on windows. So yes I understand that. I do have them organized in a special Plex folder, not named movies Are you saying that I have to have the folder specificall…

So you have a Windows Server? or Linux Server? What is hard to understand to follow the naming convention? Do you not understand file names/file structures? Drive/Plex/Movies/Red (Year)/Red (Year).wmv Drive/Plex/TV Shows/Diary(Year)/Diary(Year).wmv Drive/Plex/Music/Artist/Album/Track 01.mp3

Thank you Dan. So each item needs to be in a separate folder of it’s own in windows? That is what I don’t understand. In other words I will have to create a folder for each file?

Only for Movies. TV Shows have a folder for each season or series. Should have been; drive/Plex/tv shows/Diary/Season 01/diary S01E01.wmv Music has a folder for each album. Did you set up Libraries in Plex? Movie library pointing to drive/Plex/movies TV Shows library pointing to drive/Plex/tv…

Plex is not intuitive. I get the folders for Tv shows and albums. It seems illogical and redundant for each individual movie. It is what it is, however. Thank you for the explanation. I am not sure how to set up separate libraries in Plex, it seems that plex read all the folders and added the f…

There are tools which can save you a lot of the grunt work, particularly with tv shows. The most popular is Filebot, but it’s not free.
