It is important you organise and name your video files correctly so that you can 'scrape' the internet for the Movies' and TV Shows' synopsis and fanart (movie posters, stills etc...) before uploading to BeamTV. Below outlines how you should structure your folders and name your files for both movies and TV shows.Movies Each movie needs to be in its own folder. The folder should include the full name of the movie followed by the year it was released in brackets e.g. Toy Story (1995) The video file inside the folder should be just the name of the Movie e.g. Toy Story.mp4 If you are not sure what the exact title or year is you can check by searching for it on www.imdb.com Example ![]() TV Shows TV Shows have multiple episodes and are likely to have more than one season there is a little more structure needed to your folders and video files for each series.
The structure of the episode filename should be: seriesname.s[enter series number]e[enter episode number].mp4 If you are not sure what the exact title of the series is you can check by searching for it on http://thetvdb.com Example ![]() Music Music files work in the same way as TV Shows and follow a similar folder/filename structure.
