The problem is still there, keeping the thread alive.
Hmm, it does seem logical to me that - if you have two versions of a file (versions, not editions) - Plex ought to attempt to send each file one by one. If one fails due to unavailable, assume the source is bad, and temporarily mark it as ādeletedā then try another version.
Speculation on why not much has come to resolve this: This is a pretty specific case though. I doubt there are a lot of Plex users that keep multiple versions of movies, and those that do arenāt likely to have one of the versions on a removable media drive, and those that do arenāt likely to want Plex to not clean up the library with a scan when the drive is disconnected (bad phrasing).
People like this are out there, I see. But it seems like such a unique case this might not have come up before now. I wonder if the devs are aware of thisā¦
This happens to everyone using a Radarr/Sonarr setup because upgrades to better versions of the material might happen automatically if it is so configured. It is not that I go and manually do it.
And I assume Plex knows about it because I did not open this thread, it is a split that a mod did from some other discussion. That why my tone in the first message is not the best. If I would have opened this thread I would have had a better tone and I might have explained the problem better. Actually I did opened a thread about it long time ago and it was ignored as usual.
