I wound up with this: Multimedia - Family Movies - Family TV - Holiday Movies - Movies - TV Each one intended to be a Plex library and still allow me to have a little bit of folder level organization. After some more reading I wound up rebuilding and reorganizing my entire library into a more acceptable structure, and used Tiny Media Manager to get the Metadata correct and rename the files and folders. It looked better than Plex but still had issues with my messy library. I installed the last available build for myKodi. After a couple tries on folders with no luck I stopped fooling with it. It really wasn't any help for my situation.

For the old series it's Battlestar Galactica (1978) S01E01.mkv This will get it to scrap metadata from the new series by using the year. So for the first episode of season 1 it would be Battlestar Galactica (2003) S01E01.mkv. For the 2003 series, you put the year in brackets after the name of the show. These are actually called specials, they are considered season 00, so they're S00E01 and S00E02.

For the 2003 series, it first kicked off with a 2 part mini-series. I was able to get it to scrap metadata perfectly by: 1. I'm also a huge battlestar galactica fan and have both the older series and newer 2003 series as well.

My current NAS is marginal at 1080p transcoding, with some occasional buffering. I don't have it set up just yet, but this should allow me to do 1080p transcodes without issue. I just bought a used Lenovo M73 mini computer ($150) to act as a plex server. I follow infuses file naming protocol but it seems to work fine for plex as well when you set it to use the correct metadata sources. I use plex to play files remotely but I use Infuse with Apple TV to play all my files locally. I don't use the plex database, it's terrible at matching movies. For movies I have plex set to use '' to scrape metadata and for TV I have plex set to use '' for metadata. I have a separate folder for TV shows and for Movies. Can anyone give me some ideas and hope of making this work? I'm wondering about force installing Kodi or trying again with Video Station. I can't even imagine what it's going to take to get all the Doctor Who's from 1963 through 2006 to even begin to detect right. At this point I'm completely fed up with Plex and I've wasted 2 weeks of cleanup and file renaming. Deleted and redid the entire TV library - Same thing. Deleted the show from the TV library and tried the dance again. Did the 'Plex Dance' cleaning collections, deleting trash, scanning again. Renamed every file to include the year - nope, still all shows up as one series and 1973/1980 not even showing because it ID's all of them as 2003 shows. I had mine all under one master folder with subfolders for the 1978, 19 series.

Following advice on the Plex forum, I picked out what seems to be the worst show to get it to detect right - the entire collection of Battlestar Galactica. Then I discovered Plex doesn't use NFO files so I've wasted all that time. UNTIL I redid my libraries with Plex and everything was still a mess. I started combing through the forums and early on found recommendations to use something like Tiny Media Manager, so I went through my entire collection over several days with it and had everything looking pretty good. On a UHD screen the text is too small to even read, having to go through the login is just impossible when you're using the IR remote and it's not any easier with QRemote on an Android. The first problem I've had is it seems completely impossible to get any use out of Video Station HD. Now I'm discovering just how ugly this is when you set a modern server loose on it. Many of the movies are numbered to make them easy to find in DLNA, i.e. Most of the TV file names don't even have years in them only i.e.

My video collection has resided on an external USB drive, and by today's standards it's a mess, with everything mostly under master folders and subfolders for movie sets and TV Series. The TV in my living room is a Samsung which works seamlessly with anything I throw at it. My bedroom TV is a 4K Vizio with Chromecast which doesn't work well with USB or DLNA, so I was looking forward to having the QNAP directly connection via HDMI with the remote for ease of use. I recently purchased a TS-253B, mainly to host my ever growing video collection.
