Bug - media scanner merging unrelated items

Server version: 1.14.1.5488

OS: Linux raspberrypi (rasbian)

What you did?

Coming off a fresh install, I tried to set up my Movies library. Plex when scanning them, originally detected them all individually, but then slowly began merging the files down to this. You can see the different files that get merged together https://i.imgur.com/EgCeUQj.png.

MULTIPLE INSTANCES:

What are your (relevant) settings?

I’m using the Plex Movie agent, with Local Media Assets dragged down to the bottom priority.

Link to logs (optional but recommended):

Additional things that I’ve noticed is that unmatched movies don’t get merged in with the rest. But as soon as I match them, then they are sucked up too.

Please read the solutions in the other thread. It’s not Plex but a broken raspi-copies-and-fills package.

This package was removed on Mon Mar 11, 2019 5:21 pm, I just did a fresh install of Rasbian today.

Okay, the responsible package has been removed. That was a serious mistake on my behalf and I apologise. Really can’t test things enough.

I hope not many others have been bitten by this.

Maybe, it’s still in your installation image? It’s 100% that package. Please read the threads in https://forums.plex.tv/tags/server-raspberry-pi

Especially the following thread which describes the same problem (please skip to the end).

You are correct. Solved

Pardon me for asking, that was my thread that was linked. What do I need to do to solve/resolve it?

This fixed it for me

$ sudo LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libarmmem-v6l.so
$ sudo rm /etc/ld.so.preload
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
$ sudo reboot
