I've got a few quick questions and was wondering if someone here could help me figure this out. It shouldn't be too complicated.
I have a computer with a relatively small SSD. I have been transferring media to an external HD every once in a while to free some space up. I have directed PMS to TV shows and Movies on both my computer and the external hard drive. I was hoping that when I would unplug my external HD, Plex would recognize this and automatically hide the currently unavailable content. This is what I assume should happen but I'm having difficulty getting it to do that.
When using Plexconnect all media on the unconnected external HD still show up...
In PMS, when I unplug the external HD a red "unavailable" box appears to titles that were on the external HD but Plexconnect continues to show these.
Thats the way it works. No way around this, I would think.
Plus, this topic doesnt belong here...
Ah, that's a drag.
Didn't really know where to post this... Thought PlexConnect could possibly be made aware of these unavailable files (since it seems PMS sees that they are unavailable) and hide them from being displayed.
Mods: if this shouldn't be here please feel free to delete.
Plex Client talks to PMS over http/xml, same as PlexConnect does. In this case Plex/Web run's im your browser, but still requesting those xmls from the server.
PMS is the server appliciation running natively on your host's OS. I know, that PMS's configuration pages are shown in the browser as well... but those must use a different interface, direct html?
Well, that's my understanding and how I would try to differentiate between the two.
Yeah what i meant was that the media manager interface and the media browser interface are now one and the same; previously they were seperate.
It is an interesting question though but from what i saw the content is not hidden by design, whether something can be done to flag it though is something else.
