When I access my Serviio server, I see a bunch of files titled "Stream" (140) and The "Extras" (23), and do not know how to remove them. Can you help?

Serviio is just reading the files in your shared folders location, and attempting to match the file name with a title in the online databases. Check the folders that you have shared in Serviio and look for any files that are not specifically something you want to watch. If you find any, either move them to a location that Serviio does not monitor or delete them if you don't want to keep them.
If the files are all something you want to watch, then your file naming is most likely not compatible with the online databases. Look here (
http://www.serviio.org/index.php?option ... icle&id=12) to understand the correct file naming formats. There is software that can handle the naming for you, such as FileBot.

these files do not show up in the folder that Serviio uses. I have looked for them. They just show up when the clients look.

What are you using for a player? Perhaps it is attempting to do something outside of what Serviio provides. But if Serviio is providing that information, it is getting it from somewhere.
If you look in the Folders view, can you identify the location (folder) that these files appear to be in? How many files does Serviio show compared to how many files are actually in that location? Are the files you expect to see shown and named correctly? Can you provide an example of a file name in that folder?

Folder is /movies
Serviio shows all the files it should, PLUS these Stream (140) and Extras (23)
File names are

Sorry, I meant some examples of the actual file names on the computer, not what Serviio is naming them. And how many files are in the /Movies folder, compared to the number listed in Serviio for that location?
