This is not really a big deal. If you want it organized arbitrarily put the files in other and it will be.
It's a big deal because there's no rhyme or reason why it's one way or another way in different series so when you ask your TV through voice command to "Play Season 3 Episode 2 of [Show] through Plex] and then your TV plays the wrong episode it becomes a big deal.

Use your remote or organize your files accordingly such that the integration works
Every time I hear of people complaining about paying for software I wonder what people on here do for a living. Is everyone on here getting paid for developing software that’s free?
But also, paying for software as an enterprise vs as a personal user are very different things. I don't get proper support, bugs and feature requests never get fixed, if a regression is introduced I'm just out of luck completely, etc. There's no SLAs.
If the software is open source I can at least fix issues myself for myself. If I'm paying for software I'm also paying for new bugs, lack of support, and constantly increasing prices. Somehow by paying money I end up with lower agency.

Yesterday, I went to try to cast music from the Plex app to the Vizio Smartcast SP70 I had just bought (awesome speaker, weighs 900 lbs and is as wide as my closet door)... but you can't do music on the Plex phone app. Like, wtf, when did this happen? So, now I need to try to install the older Plex app on my phone with Sideloadly, because Plex is more interested in streaming shit to me and trying to be Netflix or Par…
I think I might be missing something. 900 lbs is 400~ kilograms, but according to the Vizio spec page, the speaker is: Sound bar Weight w/ Stand: 14 Lbs. Packaging Weight: 15.5 Lbs.
Ultimately Plex is just fancy wrapper on ffmpeg and some media index/scraper, library management, and then native device apps. It’s crazy that something like jellyfin still hasn’t improved well enough.

I went straight to Jellyfin and I find it awesome. I wonder what exactly am I missing.
For a time and I have no idea if this is still true Plex had a serious advantage in the sheer range of client platforms it supported (iOS, Android, smart TVs, Roku, etc.)
They support (or did previously support) more platforms, but Jellyfind is what runs at a reasonable speed on my phone, so that's what'll get used

Plex's outrageously heavy Android client (on my admittedly older phone) was actually what pushed me the rest of the way over to Jellyfin They support (or did previously support) more platforms, but Jellyfind is what runs at a reasonable speed on my phone, so that's what'll get used
I’ve heard from a lot of people who accidentally upgraded to the latest version of Plex on their iPads that it’s a shadow of its former self: tons of features are missing, SRT are unreliable, picture-in-picture flakes out, etc etc.

It's a figurative 900lbs.
