One thing that will ‘help’ Plex to identify your files is to make sure the year of the movie is in the file name, although it’s only really important if there are two movies with the same name. Fortunately, Plex is incredibly good at figuring these things out, and it doesn’t actually matter that I use dots instead of spaces. For example, the best way to make sure that Plex can identify a movie is to name that file the title of the movie.Īs illustrated in the above image, I have ‘dots’ between each word in the title rather than spaces (Plex recommends having spaces).
Generally Plex looks at the file name itself for information. Hopefully that won’t be the case though, and Plex does a lot of helping :) When you add a media file to Plex it automatically tries to identify that file so that it can download descriptions, cover art, background art etc. It’s possible that the part of this process that will take you the most time is making sure your audio and video files are easily identifiable by Plex.
