Plex and Dvd's

[neil3k]

Hi Guys,

Got a mac mini coming so obviously want to rip the dvd's that i legally own into a format that plex can read.

any suggestions what app to use?

if i had say a series box set

for example father ted could i split out all the individual episode files?

whats the best format to rip to ?

also, it seems to be taking a lot of time to do rips?

 

[neil3k]

ive given up plex wont detect any files ive created

******* macs

What format have you made them in? Have you got Plex Media Manager set up right?

There's a reason for it not working, and it is not '******* Macs'

Hi,

Noob mistake - i hadn't named the video files in the correct format.

i.e

Tv Shows > Father Ted > Series 2 > Father Ted S02E01.mp4



seems to be working fine this morning even got it going in full screen. took me about 4 hours to get my head round plex + vlc/handbrake last night.

You only need "Series name"SXXEXX and it detects and organises the rest if it is in a watched folder.

thanks, but i like the layout as it keeps everything organised.
