Hi all,
New plex user here and am struggling to find my feet.
I asked a previous question about naming my programs, which did the trick perfectly, but this is an additional peculiarity of the way I am downloading and trying to watching before filing my downloads.
Part of my media is weekly downloads of US TV programs to a download folder specific to the site I use for sourcing my downloads.
My issue is, when new downloads land in the "new downloads" folder, Plex doesn't name them. They are categorised by which season of their particular program they relate to. When I subsequently place them in their filed location the metadata is spot on and everything is as it should be.
This means that with plex/infuse I have a folder called new downloads and it contains media called
Season 3
Season 5
Season 7
The file name would be useful at this point, but Plex/infuse do not show me that, they only list the above.
There file name in file explorer is typically name.name.SeasonXX.EpiosdeYY.mp4 or whatever.
Once I manually place them in their correctly named folder they are fine, but typically I need to watch them before doing that or I lose track of what I have and haven't watched.
Please tell me what I'm doing wrong!!
