Hi, I am new to plex and plex meta manager, I have a library of tutorials setup in a way where its kind of like this:
└Tutorials
└── Environment
├── TUTORIAL 1
├── Tutorial 1 part 1.mp4
└── Tutorial 1 part 2.mp4
└── TUTORIAL 2
└── Tutorial 2 part 1.mp4
Right now plex scans everything in the Environment and adds it to the Environment library is there a way to make it so automatically all files that are in the tutorial folders get placed in a collection with that folders name so in this example Tutorial 1 part 1.mp4 and tutorial 1 part 2.mp4 would be placed in TUTORIAL 1? Also this is not a movie library but Other Videos library.
Thanks!
#Collections based on folder location?

Step one would be to point Plex at the "Environment" folder, not the one above it.

Sorry if I explained myself poorly, I already have it setup that way, I am just wondering if there is a way to set it up so all files that get placed in the "Environment" folder have collections that has the name of their tutorial.
So in this example the the tutorial files (9 parts) are in the folder Unreal Engine 5 - Car Rendering for Beginners and that folder is in the UE - CARS folder. Is there a way for the collection to be made automatically like this?

collections:
Car Rendering for Beginners:
plex_all: true
filters:
filepath: TUTORIAL 1
?

Still cant get it to work and I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
cold marsh
what happens?
fierce sail
Nothing the files are not added to any collection

You don't need to give the full filepath FWIW, you can just include the part you care about
"Unreal Animation Mastery"
The log file would help

@cold marshOk it works now, I wasn't running it through the right command so I am sorry for being dumb and wasting your time, still thank you very much for your help!
