Server Version#: 1.13.5.5332
I just added 3 movies to the Plex Server. They have been added as movies BUT also as a TV show/episodes. The movies in question are The Naked Gun (1, 2 and 3). Plex server also added The Naked Gun Season 1 under TV shows. Why is that? And how do I get rid of the TV show listing and leave the movies in place?
Thank you.
How exactly are the folders and files name?
I tried a few variations. Here is what I’ve tried.
Movie Name folder > movie file with the same name
Generic Movie Name folder (i.e. The Naked Gun) > Movie folder > movie file with the same name
Generic Movie Name folder (i.e. The Naked Gun) > movie files, each reflecting the actual movie name
What EXACTLY are the actual folder and file names right now? Not “how” you named them but their actual names. Thanks.
I think I may have found the problem. Official movie names contain 2½ and 3½. Once I removed the the numbers the TV Show went away.
Bingo! We have a winner!
Still, it sounds like you have pointed both your tv show library and your movie library to the same folders.
That won’t go well for long.
I currently have a folder called Video. In it I have both movies and TV shows. Has worked so far. You’re saying I should have Video/Movies, Video/TVShows and Video/HomeMovies directories?
I would certainly recommend that approach. It works very well.
Yes, definitely recommended.
Make sure that the folder structure underneath TVShows still conforms to the official recommendation.
TVShows/Title of Show (year)/Season 01/Title of Show - s01e01 - Title of Episode.mkv
