Plex Documentation → Your Media → Naming & Organizing Your Movie Files

See the Movies Split Across Multiple Files section of the Naming & Organizing docs.

Consider joining the files together. In general, that will give you a better playback experience, as not all Plex clients handle “stacked media” well. See [HowTo]: joining multi-part movies files with MKVtoolnix GUI.

If you want to stay with multiple files, make sure you follow Plex’s naming requirements.

Plex Dance the movie after renaming/reorganizing.

Example:

/Movies <-- folder added to movie library.
.../The Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)  <-- movie_name (year)
....../The Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) - pt1.ext  
....../The Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) - pt2.ext
  • Leave out restricted characters (:, /, etc) from the folder/file names. Do not substitute a dash, underscore, etc.
  • ext = mkv/mp4/etc
