Quick question about Media Organization

I’m just starting to build out my blu-ray collection on Plex and I had a few Media Organization questions?

  1. “The Amazing Spider Man 2” shows as a collection, even though its a single .mkv file, why?
  2. Some videos are not showing as collection (even though they are in the proper sub-folder, ex. Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2 & Army of Darkness should all be in one collection.
  3. For know I have kept the extra trailers and bonus content, out of curiosity does anyone else do this?, Anyways, these are showing up as seperate movies, how can I name them to prevent this? (ex. Evil Dead_t00.mkv is the actual movie, but t01 to t08 are showing up as movies).

Thanks in advance for the help solving my ocd!

  1. Plex gets Collection information from TMDB. TMDB in many cases has marked even single movies as being part of a collection.
  2. TMDB could have some errors. Check online, and if they have the movies in a collection, then you may be able to figure out why Plex didn’t get it.
  3. Take a look at this Help page:

Do yourself a HUGE favor and peruse this part of the manual:

https://support.plex.tv/articles/categories/your-media/naming-your-movie-media-files/

Bookmark that badboy. Helps with multi-part movies, extras etc. When I found this it was a big day in my Plex working better. Also has a section for TV Shows as well.
