Preparation Before You Begin Before you begin installing Plex Media Server, it’s strongly recommended that you check that your media collection has been named and organized in a way that Plex will understand. If not, you may notice content isn’t recognized, is mis-matched, or not found at all. You may already be naming and organizing your media files in a way suitable for Plex.
Here are the important things:. Movies are gathered together in a “Movies” type folder, TV Shows in a “TV Shows” type folder, etc.
Movies are named as follows: MovieName (ReleaseYear) e.g., Avatar (2009).mp4. TV Show episodes are named with the season and episode: Show Name SxxEyy e.g., Dexter s01e01.mp4. TV Show episodes are stored in their own folder as follows: /TV Shows/Show Name/Season/episodes e.g., /TV Shows/Dexter/Season 01/Dexter s01e01.mp4. For TV shows, the folder structure can be very important. Make sure you have show folders that contain season folders that contain the episodes Related Page: Tip!: It’s important to understand that Plex Media Server does not have its own graphical user interface.

This Privacy Policy applies to all our products and services, including Plex client apps, streaming content to the Plex client apps, our premium Plex Pass service, Plex Media Server software, Plex Cloud, and all other Plex software and services (collectively, our “Services”). Depending on your choice of how to use our Services, your personal content may be stored on your personal hardware (“Personal Local Content”) or stored in the cloud (“Personal Cloud Content”, collectively, “Personal Content”). For your Personal Content, except in the limited circumstances described below, we do not collect filenames or content titles of your Personal Local Content. We do, however, keep usage statistics to allow us to better serve you and improve our Services.

We may also collect automatically-generated and technical information.
Therefore, the information we have (“Collected Information”) may include:. Profile Information. You may provide us with profile information such as your e-mail address, username, a profile image, and password when you create an account, or when you edit your account information. You may also provide us with your payment information when you sign-up for a paid service. Information from External Services. If you choose to connect your account to an account of an external service, such as a social networking site or cloud storage services, we may collect certain information from those accounts, such as your name and email address as well as data required to connect to that service. You may provide such authorization during the connection process, or it may be implicit in the service authorization itself.
For example, if you choose to connect your Plex account to a social networking account, we may collect your public profile information if you agree to the collection of this information during the connection process. Metadata for Personal Content. Except for certain exceptions such as for Personal Cloud Content, Third-Party Control and Playback Mechanisms, and image analysis (i.e., metadata about photos when these features are user-enabled, such as geotag information or scene recognition analysis), as described below, we do not collect or store metadata (information about the specific file, cover art, subtitles, running length, etc.) for Personal Content stored on your personal Plex Media Server. However, your Plex Media Server may anonymously send us filenames or other identifiers for your Personal Content for the sole purpose of providing metadata back to your personal Plex Media Server. You may disable this metadata matching capability. Metadata for Personal Cloud Content.
Our Plex Cloud service is used by some of our Plex Pass users. If you choose to use Plex Cloud and upload content to third-party cloud services, such as Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, etc., we may collect and use information in addition to that described above in order to interact with the third-party cloud service and to host our Services on your behalf.
