Time on my hands - lets talk Home Video organization in Plex

What strategies do you use?
From what I've gathered you do the following:
* create a folder and flag it as 'tv'
* use 'local media agent' as the source so it won't try to turn your home videos into real tv shows
* name the media by year and 'episode' if you want to view them in order. in other words:
/Home
--/2017
----Birthday - s2017e01 - Blowing out candles.mp4
----Birthday - s2017e02 - Pinning tail on donkey.mp4
that supposedly will allow these to show up as follows:
TV Show Name: Birthday
Series: 2017
Episodes: Episode 1, Episode 2
You'll still have to rename them to get proper titles one-at-a-time and create your own poster artwork and description.
This is going to take some time so I want to do it right the first time. Anyone else done this and have any suggestions?

The only issue I have with Plex is finding foreign parts only subtitles and then attaching them to the file. I always frick it up somehow and it’s extremely annoying.

explain this to me. I don't understand why some movies i download have the subtitles and some don't. Every movie i download is the H.264 1080P file that's usually in the 2-3gb range.

make sure you set plex to connect to 'opensubtitles.org' so it will grab them on the web if your video doesn't have them.
to answer your question, i think the SRT file has to live at the same level as your video and have the same name as the video itself.
50% of the time i probably don't have subtitles but you have the option to search if you're hooked up to opensubtitles so its only like 1 or 2 extra clicks.

you'll need to click that gear and you'll need to have already created an opensubtitles account beforehand.
that's all there is to it.

Sabnzbd + sonarr or radarr renames them for me before importing into my Plex library. I would rather download everything again before renaming each file manually...

What's the best way to add a description for a video such as a football game?

These are always a pain in the arse to figure out.
