I have tried to get Plex up and running with my ~20 TB collection but its library management doesn’t work for me. Fails to load files, categorization is horrible and many other problems. Kodi (XBMC) has perfect “point it at a folder and don’t worry about it” functionality. It just doesn’t have the remote capabilities I’ve found as good as Plex. What am I doing wrong with Plex?
- jedieaston 6y agoIf you don't have your files named correctly, it won't work right. https://support.plex.tv/articles/naming-and-organizing-your-movie-media-files/ https://support.plex.tv/articles/naming-and-organizing-your-... It can sometimes be forgiving, but other times it won't find it unless you name the file exactly correct. With a library of that size, you might have to leave it for a day or two to do the initial scrape, as it sometimes does a couple passes to find everything (why, I don't know).
- nikisweeting 6y agoStart by running it with Sonarr and Radarr so that your files are named correctly, then Plex "just works" without any tweaking. Both work well for library file management and renaming, they're not only useful for pirates.
