For shows that follow the Series/Season format, each episode should use the following naming convention: ShowName – sXXeYY - For example: Inside the show’s folder, you may have nested folders for individual seasons or simply have all episodes loose in the folder.
For each different TV show in your main folder, there needs to be a nested folder that has the show’s title (and year if it is a remakes or shares a name with another show). For example:įor TV shows, the naming requirements vary slightly. These nested folder must also follow the naming conventions required for the files themselves. Movies can also be placed into nested folders within the main movie folder directory. If your file has other information after the year of release (like dvdrip,etc), that is fine, as long as the title and year are the first two identifiers. TV shows also need their own folder, as does your music collection. Specifically, you want all of your movies to be in a folder that only contains movies. Depending on the type of files you want Plex to work with, you need to make sure that everything is in an appropriate folder. Once PMS launches, you will be greeted with a Setup Wizard, but before you start working with the wizard, you will need to make sure your media folders and files are prepared so that Plex can easily find and identify them. Once you reach the final screen of the installer, you will be presented with a prompt to launch the Plex Media Server (PMS). Once you’ve downloaded the installer, run it and let it install itself onto your PC. For the purposes of this guide, I will be going over the Windows Plex Media Server setup, but the steps are virtually the same across other platforms. The first step is to grab the Plex Media Server installer for your operating system. This guide will cover everything you need to know to get your Plex server up and running as fast as possible and serving media to all your devices. While some folks (especially those who have tinkered with home theater PCs for years) will be able to navigate the server setup with little issue, getting started can be daunting for a new user. If you made it here, you’ve already decided to give the Plex Media Server a spin.
