[image] A_Nolan: and I am trying to scan them into my Plex library and it does not recognize them as video files. Plex relies heavily on rules for naming folders and files. Are you using these rules? Are these TV Show files or Movie files? https://support.plex.tv/articles/naming-and-organizi…

oh! it’s the last part that is my bane probably the original files are 300+ and the new are less than 100 :frowning: do you know of a converter i can “fluff” up the size of the files with :slight_smile: Ah well I guess there is a limit to how much compression is a good thing :laughing:

[image] darcilicious: Plex also will not “notice” video files smaller than 300mb I think? Not true. I have a lot of videos in my test library which are smaller than that. @A_Nolan please show us a few of your actual file names.

I hate the fickleness of Plex scans I did the exactly what I am doing now and NOW it works thank you all and my files are in the 100 to 50 mb size thanks for the help :bowing_man: anyway :roll_eyes: now I will have to rename 1000 files as they come in :man_facepalming:

[image] A_Nolan: ow I will have to rename 1000 files as they come in Tip: Filebot
