Hey guys, I seen this quite a few times in this forum and want to see if there is a better way to handle it or how to file a change request.
I had a library “movies” I enabled optimization on the entire library. So, every time I added a movie - it was optimized automatically.
Now, I moved to a new server bringing my files over from the old server, I got the movies library with a sub folder “Plex versions” and a sub folder “Original version” and “Optimized for Mobile” that has the 2 pre-optimized versions.
plugging it in, plex has no trouble after taking its time to match the movies and show up each movie with 3 versions.
Problem is, I want to re-enable the entire library auto-optimization rule. But when I do, plex re-optimize each movie by deleting the existing optimized version and re-creating it.
There is a ton of content here, and I have a few libraries like that.
Is there a way for Plex to see the file was already optimized and skip it?
It is just a huge waste of time to make the new versions again.
