Guy's Please HELP, 

 

I am new to Emby and still getting used to the Change! So i have Guy Martin collection from my DVD's

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4349757/

In my Tv shows i have Speed with Guy Martin but it has put all his Series / Episodes into that Show! How do i separate them into individual shows? In PLEX i click Separate and then edit it manually So i would have Speed with Guy Martin, Guy Martins Spitfire, Guy Martins WW II tank etc as separate shows. Its been bugging me and i cant Resolve it

Cheers

Each movie/show should be in its own folder.  Movies should ideally use the themoviedb.com naming conventions and shows the thedvdb.com conventions.  For example:

 

\\Server\Share\TV\Speed with Guy Martin\Season 01\Speed with Guy Martin S01E01 Britain's Fastest Cyclist.mkv

\\Server\Share\TV\Speed with Guy Martin\Season 01\Speed with Guy Martin S01E02 Hydroplaning Bike.mkv

\\Server\Share\Movies\Guy Martin's Spitfire (2014)\Guy Martin's Spitfire (2014).mkv

 

Note that in this specific scenario there is some overlap.  Guy Martin's Spitfire and other TV documentaries are also on thetvdb.com so you could choose to record them as TV entries instead, following the conventions above.

 

There are other supported naming formats.  I recommend these as they work 100% of the time in my experience.  If you pull your names from those two sites you WILL get your shows recognized very reliably.

 

I recommend keeping TV and movies in separate libraries, set to the correct type, rather than mixing them though there is a mixed library type.  Again, this is about minimizing errors in the scraping.

This folder structure looks good. What does your Speed Guy folder structure look like?

you might try eliminating the folder "Guy Martin" and just keeping the seperate folders like "Guy Martin World War I Tank" etc.

TV
    Guy Martin World War I Tank
    Guy Martin How Britain Worked

    etc.

instead of

TV
    Guy Martin
        Guy Martin World War I Tank
        Guy Martin How Britain Worked
        etc.

Are they supposed to be separate series? Then yes please try that, thanks.
