I am a casual user of PLEX on my Qnap server. Have been working with Qnap support on a high memory utilization problem (no resolution) and was asked to reload PMS on my server. Now I have a mess. When the data base was re-scanned, it took 2 days. It appears that my movie library is in good shape. The music library appears on the PMS with many many iterations of the same album, though they contain the exact same songs. When I look at EDIT and diplay INFO, I see the source pointing to the snapshots this system has taken in the past. I have 500gb of music and manually fixing this is impossible. Help!
You need to either save the snapshots outside of the music folder, or maybe make them hidden.
I totally agree with you. I am wondering several things. I can’t be the only one using Plex and Snapshots on their Qnap devices. Why did this happen in my setup and only in my music folder? How do I recover from this and get back to the way it was originally running with no duplicates? How do I direct Snapshots to another folder and/or make the folder hidden? There seems to be nothing in File Station or Snapshots to allow me to do this. Thank you for your reply, I appreciate it!
I came up with a work around. Copied the contents of my music folder to a new shared folder. Deleted the original folder form the Plex music database and pointed Plex to the new shared subfolder only so it will not scan the @recent-snapshot folder. But I do think there is a bug in the Plex music scanner that would allow the @ folders to be scanned.
