You don't have to hunt around, and they always play in the right order, even without metadata.īut when the filename did not match what it expected, Plex couldn't identify the episodes correctly - and there was no way to tell it to use a custom filename scheme. Perhaps they have fixed it now, but from a general file management point of view, keeping a running episode number in the filename is a lot easier if you ever want to access/play those files outside of a media center app like Plex too. Plex would play all the specials grouped together at the end, because those were named s00e01 and s00e02 rather than in-between the correct seasons if the filenames were: With many shows, the first special may be placed between seasons 1 and 2, and the second special placed between seasons 2 and 3, for example.
TheTVDB using "season 0" for specials is fine, but that meant they were all grouped together in Plex. By default it will access all your storage, and shares pretty much everything on your PC – so instead, it's better just to add only the folders you want to share.Click to shrink.The issue I ran into was that it couldn't play them in order. Now we must tell Universal Media Server where to find your files. Once it's installed, open it and you will see the UMS main panel. The program is free to use and works with nearly every computer or console. Simply visit the website and click the Windows logo and the file will download. Once you have downloaded and finished installing Java, download and install Universal Media Server. In the interests of security, you should never download Java from unknown websites. You may already have Java on your computer, but if not, go to and download it before continuing. You'll need to make sure you have an up-to-date version of Java installed on your PC – this is required for UMS to work.
The simplest way of doing this is through a program called Universal Media Server (UMS), which broadcasts your files across a home network so the Xbox One can see them and play them back on your TV. In order for your Xbox One to see your films, TV shows and more, we first have to set up your PC so that it acts as a media server.
Steps to address: Control panel under Network and Internet click choose homegroup and sharing options There's a share media with devices heading under this there's Choose media streaming options, click it. In conjunction with the UMS program, we can use the Xbox's Media Player app to view all the files. Not 100 sure if that matters, but I imagine it will. Universal Media Server (UMS) is a great app that works with all kinds of devices and setups and is a really useful tool when it comes to streaming to your Xbox One.
