Dead Hard Drive - List contents of that drive?

General Discussions
1

I have 3 hard drives in my Plex library. One of them died. Is there any way to query my Plex library to determine what content was on that drive so I know what I lost?

Maybe this can help.

Alternately you can create a SQL dump of the Plex database.
Import it into something like phplitemyadmin and run a query on it.

I tried ExportTools - but I got an error.

WindowsError: [Error 3] The system cannot find the path specified: u’\\?\D:\’

Looks like my dead drive needs to be connected.

I eventually found Plex-Media-Scanner-via-Command-Line which allowed me to list all the items in my scanned library, and with a bit of regex, I filtered the items from my dead drive.

Thanks…

ExportTools tries to produce its report in the Media Library by default, but you can specify another path. Also you can specify different “levels” to produce reports with different levels of detail.

Try Web Tools which is a great addition to have for Plex https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/126254

Among a lot of features it can show you files on disk not in Plex and what you need, files in Plex database not on disk.
