This is awesome!

I can do the same thing with my movies, right? They're currently in E:\MOVIES, I can just repeat the same process as above to copy the library to the new "Media" folder alongside "TV Shows"?

Oh, I had interpreted your initial "Copy your entire library" as Step 0 before 1,2,3,4, and 5... Whoops. Glad I checked back here instead of waiting the 16 hours. Will try Hardlink now.

Perfect, thank you! & thanks to Kim as well for providing the customized naming structures for me (although I won't be needing them now).

This has been very enlightening for me, thanks for answering my questions so thoroughly :D

now just gotta wait 16 hours lol

I'm tempted to follow your 3 steps as it seems simpler than what I"m doing now and would future-proof my current media assuming Plex doesn't drastically change its naming structure.

I'm not super tied to "TV", "S01", or "Name (year)"; for some reason I've just done that for years for no reason ...

Thanks rednoah, makes sense regarding the Link-dropping since it's neither a Movie or Episode.

As far as how my files are organized, here is my format for all of my TV media:

Drive: \ TV \ Series (Series release year) \ Season \ Episode (in plex[3] naming format)
e.g. E:\TV\30 Rock (2006)\S01\30 ...

So this MOVIE ?

Hi, thanks for the quick reply!

I'm afraid I don't understand what you're saying, exactly. The renaming works fine for movies in my experience, just not the parent folder ...

Hi, this happens every time I try to rename a parent folder for a TV Show:

I am using Ctrl+Shift to drag the folder into FileBot. This works fine to rename ...
