Server Version#: 1.42.1.10060

Wondering what the easiest way would be to check some 480 plus TV shows to determine if there are any new seasons available for them. That is all I really want to do - so if I could do it without installing a whole new ecosystem / new programs connected into Plex etc. that would be ideal. I downloaded TV Rename, but I can’t figure out whether I can use it to just check an existing library that does NOT need anything renamed or moved. The last thing I want is anything changed inside the Plex library folders, I just want to scan them and look up in TVDB (or something) to see if I am missing anything?

Thanks!

[WebTools-NG](https://forums.plex.tv/t/webtools-ng/598539) offers such a functionality: [Find Missing Episodes](https://github.com/WebTools-NG/WebTools-NG/wiki/Find-Missing-Episodes)

Edit: I just stumbled across this: [Series Complete for Plex - The Ultimate Series Completeness Checker for Plex](https://forums.plex.tv/t/series-complete-for-plex-the-ultimate-series-completeness-checker-for-plex/930017)
