Dead Drive

[rayg19791]

Hi All,

I have my Plex media spread over 3 drives. One of those drives has now died is there a way of access the DB so I can sort by drive to determine what media was on teh dead drive so I know what I need to replace.

I know I can update the library in Plex but that will just remove the videos and I need to know what I’m going to loose first.

Thanks

Ray

Plex may not remove the videos if an entire section of the Library is missing.

To really ensure that items aren’t removed, head to Settings → Library and uncheck Empty trash automatically after every scan.

In addition to Export Tools, there is a filtered Library view for items once they’ve been trashed or their files have been detected as missing.
