Plex shows no content after doing the Plex Dance. Server cannot be found

Pretty much, although I have one nagging music album which Plex tries to process but never completes. So far so good thanks to all your help!

I use MusicBrainz Picard app for my music.

1. Plex follows their tagging / naming
2. With these rules, I never have anything which doesn’t match.

• you’re welcome to use / try it if you wish

Options - File Naming

$if2(%albumartist%,%artist%)/
$if(%albumartist%,%album%/,)
$if($gt(%totaldiscs%,1),Disc %discnumber%/,)$if($and(%albumartist%,%tracknumber%),$num(%tracknumber%,2). ,)$if(%_multiartist%,%artist% - ,)%title%

This will handle multi-CD albums and create directories as needed.

The options to enable and use it.

My naming isn’t perfect but I’ve not had any trouble with PMS matching everything

Example:
