Did the "Plex Dance" cleaning collections, deleting trash, scanning again. Renamed every file to include the year - nope, still all shows up as one series and 1973/1980 not even showing because it ID's all of them as 2003 shows. I had mine all under one master folder with subfolders for the 1978, 19 series.
Following advice on the Plex forum, I picked out what seems to be the worst show to get it to detect right - the entire collection of Battlestar Galactica. Then I discovered Plex doesn't use NFO files so I've wasted all that time. UNTIL I redid my libraries with Plex and everything was still a mess. I started combing through the forums and early on found recommendations to use something like Tiny Media Manager, so I went through my entire collection over several days with it and had everything looking pretty good. On a UHD screen the text is too small to even read, having to go through the login is just impossible when you're using the IR remote and it's not any easier with QRemote on an Android. The first problem I've had is it seems completely impossible to get any use out of Video Station HD. Now I'm discovering just how ugly this is when you set a modern server loose on it. Many of the movies are numbered to make them easy to find in DLNA, i.e. Most of the TV file names don't even have years in them only i.e.

My video collection has resided on an external USB drive, and by today's standards it's a mess, with everything mostly under master folders and subfolders for movie sets and TV Series. The TV in my living room is a Samsung which works seamlessly with anything I throw at it. My bedroom TV is a 4K Vizio with Chromecast which doesn't work well with USB or DLNA, so I was looking forward to having the QNAP directly connection via HDMI with the remote for ease of use. I recently purchased a TS-253B, mainly to host my ever growing video collection.
