Drive Crashed - Need to find what files were lost

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops
1

Server Version#: 4.41.1

I have an extremely large Plex library with 15 external drives attached. The inevitable happened today and I lost one of my smaller drives (5TB). With plugins no longer supported, I can’t think of an easy way to figure out the list of TV Series I lost from that drive and I have been unable to find an answer on the web.

I have turned off “Empty trash automatically after every scan” in order to prevent the loss of the metadata from my library, but absent going through 2400 TV Series one by one to figure out which ones are unavailable is there an easy way to generate a list of missing files so I can begin to rebuild it?

Thanks!

Thanks, for some reason I thought I could not use web tools anymore. That should do the trick. Thanks!

That worked, thanks! I had thought it was no longer accessible. I had it loaded on my machine, but changed my IP since so it didn’t work, and I just gave up.

Plex just added a new “Trash” “Custom Filter…” library view, too.

I haven’t tested by yanking a drive, but it shows library items where I’ve deleted any or all of the files.
