Organise TV Show files by episode

Hello,

I have a lot of local media assets (subtitles, images, etc) for some of my TV Shows, for each/most of their episodes.

As such I started creating a dedicated folder for each episode, like in this example:
My TV Show/Season 01/My TV Show S01E01 Episode One/My TV Show S01E01 Episode One.ext

I did this to avoid ending up with directories with huge amounts of files as that would be very hard for me to maintain (e.g. when adding more files).

However, I noticed that this is not well supported in Plex. The Show works correctly for the most part, but the local media assets in the main directory (Poster.png, Background.png, Theme.mp3, etc) are completely ignored.

It would be very nice if Plex would support this kind of file organising.

It’s not supported at all.

Try it this way: https://support.plex.tv/articles/200220717-local-media-assets-tv-shows/

See also New Plex Media Server TV show/series scanner and agent preview - #232 for reference.

It is very unlikely that this will happen.
