Plex custom names and folders

Naming pattern depends on selected "Agent"

Custom filenames possilbe with .plexmatch file

https://support.plex.tv/articles/naming-and-organizing-your-tv-show-files/ https://support.plex.tv/articles/plexmatch/

Update Metadata

.plexmatch is supported only if you are using "Plex Local Media Assets" as the metadata agent.

Problem: usange of multiple metadata agents is deprecated

Erweitert -> Lokale Metadaten bevorzugen
