Naming convention for Folders and Files
Is it best to always use lowercase for naming folders and files on the ReadyNas. Also is it best to avoid spaces and maybe use the underscore (_) or full stop (.) instead. instead of my folder fi...
Upper or Lower case, spaces or not - it doesn't matter, the choice is yours
For Plex I follow 2 primary rules and rarely have issues with it detecting the media correctly
For Movies - each should go into its own folder, where the folder is the name of the movie. I find this practical anyway as my movies tend to have multiple external subtitle files, artwork etc & I'd rather than have all that stuff in a single folder rather than all movies & additional files in a single folder. eg:
/c/media/Movies/War of the Worlds/war of the worlds.avi
For TV shows - remember to include the Season/Episode info in the file name (eg S01E09), and place in a folder named after the Series. If you're a neat freak you can also add Season subfolders below the Series name eg for the show "sphardy" an episode might be found as:
/c/media/TV Shows/sphardy/Season 3/sphardy - S03E12 - episodename.avi
You can of course add further subfolders to the path for genres etc but tend not to as Plex supports sorting via metadata anyway
