Help Checking Folder Structure Channels & Plex My Servers

I hope someone can help and understand what I am trying to do... My Channels TV shows go in the Folder NAS-TVS-882BR/Multimedia/TELIVISION/TV Folder.. which is also located in my NAS-TVS-882BR/Multimedia/TELIVISION .. See clips attached.. Hope someone can help me clean up the way the shows display in Plex.. Any help great.. I wish you guys could do a live instant messaging or screen share in Chrome / Google Hangouts..

We don't recommend recording directly into your Plex folder. Channels should have its own DVR folder where it can create its files, because it stores other folders like Streaming and Database in there.

You can add the channels TV folder to your Plex and then it will work more reliably because Plex won't try to scan in random data from the Channels DVR installation.

What is best way to move them back..? Where should I add its own DVR folder..? or is it movable ..? you said add the channels TV folder to my Plex, can you point to where to add the channels TV folder to your Plex .. Sorry its baby steps for this old vet..

I believe he simply means add a new library in Plex with that new library being the Channels folder/"TV". (Channels DVR creates this TV folder automatically after you record a TV show the first time).

In Plex go setup/MANAGE/Libraries/ADD LIBRARIES, and point the new library to that "TV" folder.

There are specific topics here for moving the stuff you have already recorded.
