Hi,
A bit of background of my environment to help out to understand.
I got some folders set up following KODI naming convention and so far I have managed to read metadata from KODI nfo files to PLEX. That works fine.
├── 91 Days
│ ├── 91 Days - 1x01 - Night of the Murder.mkv
│ ├── 91 Days - 1x01 - Night of the Murder.nfo
│ ├── 91 Days - 1x01 - Night of the Murder-poster.jpg
│ ├── 91 Days - 1x01 - Night of the Murder-thumb.jpg
│ ├── 91 Days - 1x02 - Phantom of Falsehood.mkv
│ ├── 91 Days - 1x02 - Phantom of Falsehood.nfo
│ ├── 91 Days - 1x02 - Phantom of Falsehood-poster.jpg
│ ├── 91 Days - 1x02 - Phantom of Falsehood-thumb.jpg
│ ├── 91 Days - 1x03 - Where the Footfalls Lead.mkv
│ ├── 91 Days - 1x03 - Where the Footfalls Lead.nfo
│ ├── 91 Days - 1x03 - Where the Footfalls Lead-poster.jpg
│ ├── 91 Days - 1x03 - Where the Footfalls Lead-thumb.jpg
│ ├── 91 Days - 1x04 - Losing to Win, and What Comes After.mkv
│ ├── 91 Days - 1x04 - Losing to Win, and What Comes After.nfo
│ ├── 91 Days - 1x04 - Losing to Win, and What Comes After-poster.jpg
│ ├── 91 Days - 1x04 - Losing to Win, and What Comes After-thumb.jpg
│ ├── 91 Days - 1x05 - Blood Will Have Blood.mkv
│ ├── 91 Days - 1x05 - Blood Will Have Blood.nfo
│ ├── 91 Days - 1x05 - Blood Will Have Blood-poster.jpg
│ ├── 91 Days - 1x05 - Blood Will Have Blood-thumb.jpg
│ ├── 91 Days - 1x91 - .mkv
│ ├── 91 Days - 1x91 - -poster.jpg
│ ├── 91 Days - 1x91 - -thumb.jpg
│ ├── banner.jpg
│ ├── fanart.jpg
│ ├── poster.jpg
│ ├── season01-poster.jpg
│ ├── season-all-banner.jpg
│ ├── season-all-poster.jpg
│ └── tvshow.nfo
Now I'd created another folder with "empty" series and want Plex to import it from those metadata , goal is that I create folder for each watched series but without actual episodes inside and Plex nicely imports it in.

In KODI I can use STUBs to achieve that, but can Plex do that for me or is there another way to do that ?
Why do I ask ? Because there's another great tool, which exports plex DB to webpage and I want to keep track of old watched series.
Any help please ?
