Not sure if I’m understanding, but I think my husband has had to rename things to make them sequential. Just copying them doesn’t seem to do it for some things.
just watch Married with Children, forget about the toxic Bible stuff
I use PLEX thru my ROKU 4 box that has a sd card. I noticed that when I play any movie or tv show there is a delay as it shows a percentage loading and has to get to 100% then shows the show.
Any way to speed things up?
All my movies/tv shows are on my SSD hard drive and the network cable goes from the router to the ROKU box then using a HDMI cable to the tv set. Distance is under 10ft total cable length from router to roku to tv.
in addition to correct naming, plex also looks at the metadata for the file.. if your metadata is screwed up, plex will not list it correctly without manual intervention
Set up your options so that it references TVDB for your TV shows, then name each program & episode in the same exact format as the listing there. It also helps sometimes to include the first year of the show. Your file structure should look like:
TV Show
-MASH 1972
—SEASON 1
-—S01E01.The Pilot
