> can't handle non-formal video files like home movies,įWIW I have videos on my Plex system ranging back for several years taken from at least 3 different cameras (highest end from only a Nikon V1 mirrorless though) and 5 phones/tablets. I haven't messed with it much but I have never had to rename a file to get plex to recognize it when I use directories like this
It seems like as long as the file contains the season/episode like "S01E01" it will match correctly based on the directory information. I have never had the issue you described where something doesn't show up at all, just that it's incorrectly matched (in which case the tile will just show a screenshot and the title will just be the filename)Īdditionally, I've found that if you use their recommended folder structure, the filenames matter much less. If your media isn't immediately recognized, you can do this to correct it.Īdditionally, they have a "Personal Media" metadata agent you can select for media that's your own personal media (like home videos) which will allow plex to read the metadata directly from the file instead of searching for a match. This lets you pick the movie/show/whatever manually from a few different sources. There's a feature where you can "Fix Incorrect Match" described here: Actually there are various ways to get proper matches without the exact filenaming convention they recommend.
