Hi All,

Really quick question. I have 1 more file (folder and video file) on my server than is showing up in plex movies. How can I ID what that movie file is? (Feels like a needle in a haystack)

Thanks,

I’m interested too. There were previously add-ons for this but that’s not an option now, I think.

In the web interface filter your movies for duplicates. It is fairly probable that the movie you are missing was identified as one that was really there.

After that you can use split apart and fix match to correctly identify the movie.
