I am having trouble organizing my libraries. I have a hard drive where is store all media. On the drive I have 2 folders; Movies and Home Movies. I set up 2 libraries (Movies and Home Movies). On the server I can discover by Movies and Home Movies and all works correct. However, on all clients I have 2 libraries displayed (Movies and Home Movies). The problem is no mater which library I select I see all files. My home moves also show up in Movies and my Movies also show up in Home Movies.

that usually only happens if you accidentally added both folders to those libraries (or if one of the folder is the parent folder of the other).

> **Folder Structure**  
> `HDD`  
> `.. > Movies`  
> `.. .. > The Big Sick (2017).ext`  
> `.. .. > Star Wars - The Last Jedi (2017).ext`  
> `.. .. > Doctor Strange (2016)` ← alternative mode if your folders also contain extras or posters

> `.. .. .. > Doctor Strange (2016).ext`  
> `.. .. .. > cover.jpg`  
> `.. .. > ...`  
> `.. > Home Movies`  
> `.. .. > Home Movie 1.ext`  
> `.. .. > Home Movie 2.ext`  
> `.. .. > ...`

> **Plex Libraries:**  
> Movies → Movie type library; links to your folder `Movies`  
> Home Movies → Other video type library; links to your folder `Home Movies`
