Emby will work just fine with or without this additional folder! ID Tags in Folder & File NamesĮmby can also read a Meta-Data ID from the name.Įmby supports the following tags with the host website for lookup. It saves you from scrolling through thousands of folders to get to your "W" movies for example. When viewing your media outside of Emby using conventional tools such as Windows Explorer this allows you to navigate your library much quicker without having to wait for thousands of folders to load. For example you could create folders for all movies starting with the first letter or number such as: \Movies\A\Avatar (2009)\Avatar (2009).mkv \Movies\P\Pulp Fiction (1994)\Pulp Fiction (1994).mp4 \Movies\R\Reservoir Dogs (1992)\Reservoir Dogs (1992).mp4 \Movies\T\The Usual Suspects (1995)\The Usual Suspects (1995).mkv \Movies\T\Top Gun (1986)\Top Gun (1986).mp4 If you plan on having thousands of movies in your library you may want to add an additional folder to your hierarchy to aid in navigation. It will look like this: \Movies\Avatar (2009)\Avatar (2009).mkv \Movies\Pulp Fiction (1994)\Pulp Fiction (1994).mp4 \Movies\Reservoir Dogs (1992)\Reservoir Dogs (1992).mp4 \Movies\The Usual Suspects (1995)\The Usual Suspects (1995).mkv \Movies\Top Gun (1986)\Top Gun (1986).mp4 Emby will then use the folder name to determine the movie.
#EMBER VS TINYMEDIAMANAGER MOVIE#
The simplest method of doing this is to put all media related to a Movie in the same folder using a name "MovieName (year). Because Emby allows many other advanced functions that can be used with your media we want to create a folder structure that aids in this use. The best way to do this is to use the format: "MovieName (year).extension" such as "Top Gun (1986).mp4" or "Avatar (2009).mkv". Once you've prepared your media files, it's time to name your media in a way that allows Emby the best chance of determining what it is.
This is not a requirement but is strongly encouraged. The idea behind preparing your media ahead of time in this fashion is to reduce the need for the Server to have to transcode (convert) media on the fly. Media prepared in this fashion will have the greatest compatibility with all Emby clients.
#EMBER VS TINYMEDIAMANAGER MP4#
These formats and naming conventions are covered below.Ī much better way of building a large Emby library of content is to prepare you media ahead of time using a streaming friendly format such as MP4 or MKV containers featuring H.264 (or H.265) video with at least one 2 Channel AAC default audio track along side any other audio tracks such as Dolby Digital or DTS. Since neither of these are streaming formats they require more work by the server to transcode and stream to client apps. These formats work but are not an ideal way to build your library.
#EMBER VS TINYMEDIAMANAGER ISO#
When setting up the library, make sure to select Movies, Home videos, or Music videos as the content type.Įmby supports several different formats and naming conventions such as ISO copies of discs to DVD/Blu-Ray file formatted layouts which are both different types of disc copies.
This file naming guide applies to movies, home videos and music videos.
