Hi All,

I have a selection of Custom Videos sorted in plex as tv series and I’m looking to know if there is a way for me to add a picture to the folder with a video and have plex detect it and place it as the cover ?

I’m currently having to go to each Series and select the cover to be displayed.

also Is it possible to have PLex detect the episode name and use that? as I’m having to go through each and every file (almost 1TB) and manually enter them… I’m sure I must be doing something wrong.

last question… can you name each series ? so you have a show, then 3 series each with a different name… ?

dunno if any of this is possible but any help is greatly appretiated

thanks

Robin

> OK, this is what first comes to mind: Each artist performing one certain kind of trick = 1 separate TV Show Each tv show can have several seasons, which you could use to e.g. separate performances from instructions. (Usually only makes sense if there are several videos of each type) Seasons can have a descriptive text as well, but you’ll have to add it manually in Plex Web. And it might not be visible in all Plex client types. If you have only a few videos, you can restrict courself to just…

No, _seasons_ cannot be named.
