It seems otherwise.
The problem ERROR - Unknown metadata type: folder happens after I put the new media to be catalogued. The media is Justice League series with 5 seasons.
The folder and all subfolders have :
No special characters on his name;
Proper owner equals the other medias that are being displayed by my Plex;
Same user rights that other medias properly displayed and catalogued by Plex…
I checked it all using chown and chmod with recursive parameters.
The troublesome media that is not being included and fires the ERROR - Unknown metadata type: folder when it is included in the folder to be scanned by Plex obeys all the good practices for naming and permission and also I don´t have and .plexignore, nor special characters.
Thanks for the reply. Regarding the permissions this is not an issue. All the media you mentioned is not part of my problem. My problem is with Justice League series with 5 seasons.
The Green Lantern - Cavaleiros Esmeralda was solved after the first message and it is not an issue. I am not complaining about it. It was a permission issue solved changing the ownership to plex:users. I went to the library folder at /volume1/video/animacoes/ and run chown plex:users -R * and all the permissions to all video media were fixed.
Regarding the folder structure inside Media folder it seems to be a workaround that will give me a lot of work and loose all my configurations that are working nicely with exception of one single media that the scanner ignores and that I know it is working because I tested all the videos locally before inserting.
Below I link the prints of configurations
I did a test with the folder structure you supplied. I inserted only the Justice League on it and it scanned. Kept the same ownerships and rights from the original location. I only moved from one library to another. Now using the Structure on your message it is Generating video preview thumbnail. But this approach made me think about other video libraries that I created to organize better the media. I have TV Shows, Movies, Photos, Music but I wish to put in a different libraries, for example:
DC Comics animated series or animated movies I like to put in a different library named animated, or animacoes in Portuguese without accentuation.
I found out the reason for the problem of not adding media.
It was unrelated with taxonomy or structure of folders. Also unrelated with permissions.
The real deal was this: Justice League is an animation with episodes, a TV Show. So in order to work as expected it must be below a library of TV Show type. My animation library was liked to a Movie profile.
