Content-based file matching (Fingerprints)

Thanks for the support, @meh123 .

Agree. Sooo worth it.

I have been in the process of reorganizing the collection for months now. (Admittedly, it is a large collection.) And I frown ever so often how many disadvantages there are to the current method.

Like here in the forum:
Plex incorrectly identifying TV episodes
Incorrect match keeps re-occurring no matter how many times I fix it
TV-Serien Fehler bei Episoden-Benennung
… and this list could go on and on.

The standard advice is always to stick exactly to the naming schemes. Even though this is tedious and error-prone and unflexible, even though this is preventing new users from using and liking Plex, I find little little discussion to fix the root cause … so far. :slightly_smiling_face:

I hope that over time more users and decisions makers at Plex will come to realize how deficient the current method is and that a much better way really is possible.
