Again AFAIK Plex ignores everything after sXXeXX, so you should be safe with thisĪgain I prefer more info in my names so this is what I use: Guilt (2019) The files names need at least the series number and episode number. Naming of the folder structure is possibly more important than the actual files. TV Shows should be organised with a Top level folder then Show Name (Year) then Seasons. Both Sonarr and Radarr can provide naming like this.ĪFAIK This does not impede Plex matching these files, but I could be wrong. This si where I have to break with the strict conventions, as I like to keep details of the Src, Video and Audio Codecs in the file. The folder will also contain any external subtitle files and additional stuff. Screenshot of PLEX text file ('FILES ENCRYPTED.

MKVToolNix can quickly convert an mp4 to an mkv Last Updated: Plex is a global streaming media service and a client-server media player platform. That’s fine, just don’t moan when it suddenly stops working, or won’t match your newly added Movie or TV Shows.Īs for File types, well Plex suggest mp4 as the most compatible option, but TBH, I prefer mkv, as it allows for a wider range of audio codecs and from experience I seem to see more transcoding with mp4 than with mkv, not really sure why, but it is what it is, and it’s personal taste. The problem is that you can get away with for a while and think… whatever… I will just carry on with my way. For example, right-click the file and select Rename in Windows or select the file and hit Return in MacOS and type in the new name. If the filename doesn’t follow the convention, rename it using the appropriate method for your platform. Now Plex is pretty fussy about File naming, and ignore it at your peril. Media should be uploaded with the correct folder and filename otherwise Plex may have trouble identifying it.
