Plexmatch precedence

Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files
1

Consider this structure:

TV Show (2000)/
└─ S01E01/
   ├─ .plexmatch
   └─ S02E02.mkv

Where .plexmatch is:

episode: S03E03: S02E02.mkv

Who do you think would win? Common sense would suggest

.plexmatch > file name > folder name

but right now it’s

folder name > .plexmatch > file name

Please fix the precedence so it actually makes sense. And I don’t wanna hear any excuses à la “your folder is named weird”. What’s the point of introducing .plexmatch when it’s not even being used?

You might not wanna hear this, but there are (described) requirements …

TV Series folder structure as described in the support docs (or with .plexmatch, same rule applies).

Some TV show (2022)/
└─ Season 01/
   ├─ Some TV show (2022) - S01E01 - Optional subtitle.mkv
   └─ Some TV show (2022) - S01E02 - Optional subtitle.mkv
└─ Season 02/
   ├─ Some TV show (2022) - S02E01 - Optional subtitle.mkv
   └─ Some TV show (2022) - S02E02 - Optional subtitle.mkv

From the docs: Be sure to use the English word “Season” when creating season directories, even if your content is in another language.
