Greetings,
After some time using my apple tv to stream to my rather old tv I decided to give Plex a go. Today I got my new (Smart) tv WOHOOOHOOO. The software looks great and when working I think it's a no brainer but it's just a huge chunk of information.
Problems I run into:
- How to organize my series quite well. Right now I have a hard drive containing all kinds of series in 3 folders: Ongoing,Season Stop, New (for me to watch). These folders contain of all kinds of series with different seasons and episodes. But somehow it's EXTREMELY hard to organize this well when just opening a library clicking on my hard drive. Any chance to do this fast??
- For the sake of simplicity I decided to make a smaller folder with 2 folders in it : The vampire diaries and Vikings. TVD has 3 episodes in it , vikings 2. However, in the library Vikings shows 2 episodes (great!) and TVD only shows 2, I can't find a way to get the third one in my plex library...
- Last, but not least. I live in a shared home and sometimes, my roommates want to sleep at night while I want to watch series. Therefore, I need to turn the sound off and I need subtitles to know what's going on. I have turned every subtitle setting ON and the subtitles are showing on my desktop plex but not on my (smart) tv.... Any ideas how to fix this? (I use subsmarine to look for any subtitle, and then I put the .srt file in the same folder as the mp4 file.)
Right now , my desktop is an iMac late 2013 running yosemite 10.10.5.
The (smart) tv I'm talking about is the Philips 40PFK5300
Excuse me for using the wrong category as there are 2 different questions I decided to put it in the Mac forums.
Thanks for your help and hope to get it resolved soon :)
