Plex Documentation → Your Media

Plex should ignore things in square brackets, but move them to the end of the file name.

Put the date in parentheses.

Follow Plex naming and organizing rules for best results.

/Movies
.../In the Park (1915)
....../In the Park (1915) [other.stuff].mkv

Ok, the naming rules make sense for most situation, but for collection/boxset you need to discard file order in name for plex to match. It’s not a big problem.

Thank you.
