Hi.

&nbsp;

I wanted to ask why cant I create folders inside a library folder?

&nbsp;

I have a section called "Collections" in Plex Media Server and when I go into that library I would like to choose what Collection I want to go into instead of having everything lumped together.

&nbsp;

Is this possible and I just dont know how?

or has it never been implemented?

&nbsp;

Hope i'm understood and thanks in advance

For example.

I have a folder called collections and I added it to my plex media center

In my computer inside the "Collection" Folder I have sub folders, for example:

Back to the Future Trilogy

Batman Movies

Godfather Trilogy

Indiana Jones Movies

Harry Potter Movies

Why cant I have these sub-folders show up in inside my plex Collections library?

Instead all the movies are just lumped together inside the Collections Library like so:

Plex has this but not in the way you want. There is a filter on the left that will show you all collections and allow you to search / view them.

What your asking for is a full tile view for the collections
