I'd like to request that the Plex Media Server shows a list of media items it couldn't match after adding a library section. This would spare users the time to go through the media and hunt for unmatched titles to manually match. Preferably it would be possible to manually match items without leaving that unmatched list. Perhaps this could also be achieved with an umatched filter in Plex/Web.

Kudos on your effort to develop this. Any chance that this code will find its way into the official Plex distribution?

Doubtful, since the code runs with elevated rights in order to access the file-system.

But if Plex is up for it, I'm cool with it.

Early 2021 clean-up: implemented (filter by “unmatched”)
