Hi Guys
this may be a complete lamer question but I have several albums on my plex server where plex only finds one album is there,
an example would be Nick the Night fly album, I have 15 albums (2cds each) all in Nick the night fly folder - when I look in media server it sees only one album.
Many thanks
Roy
Music requires, unfortunately, pretty right adherence to the naming rules.
I have, after passing through MusicBrainz “Picard”, the following structure
Artist/
Album/
Disc n/ (if multiple discs only)
01 - title
As example:
