Hello,
Looking for a way to split apart multiple duplicates at once?
I have let my library grow and now I have over 500 duplicates. Some are valid (2 different version of the same movie) however the majority are not valid. The Names are totally different. Example attached.
My question is - Is there a way to Split Apart several movies at once instead of one by one, then re-scrapping them again to get the proper meta data?
Id run your library thru a rename process. I always include the imdb id in the filename, that way the matching issues are prevented. Update the naming, then plex dance them.
My canned response is to see https://support.plex.tv/articles/naming-and-organizing-your-tv-show-files/ and:
If you want to save yourself a lot of time I would recommend using Download - tinyMediaManager and use ${title} (${year}) {imdb-${imdb}} as the new name format.
Folder format:
${title} (${year})
(Please note I linked to the v3 which is free to use)
Thank you, that makes sense. I was looking for a way to do it in bulk and this gives me the solution.
Thanks,
With TMM I can do over a thousand movies an hour, so hopefully it should make quick work of your library.
One can only hope as my Movie Library is over 15K. I am go to start now and see how it goes.
Question: ${title} (${year}) {imdb-${imdb}} if using TheMovieDb do I replace imdb with tmdb?
try: {tmdb-${movie.tmdbId}} NOTE: that is completely untested.
Okay will test that after I finish this batch currently running my first batch as a test.
Thank you again, I was able to fix my 15K+ Movie Library using the method you provided in just three days…
