How can I get the file names and hash values (I assume that Plex saves a hash value of the file to detect moved/renamed files) for my media library?
I run Plex Media Server on my Shield, and my media library is on a network share. Unfortunately, the media drive died, and while restoring from a backup something happened to the backup drive so that it suddenly is shown as empty! I was able to restore many (hopefully all, but haven’t been able to verify that) files by running a data recovery software on the backup hard drive, but the restored files are named 000001.mkv, 000002.mkv, 000003.m4v, etc. instead of their original names.
Some files have metadata embedded, but far from all.
I want to be able to calculate the hash of a restored file, compare it to the hashes in the Plex database and rename the file to its original name. Any help, hints or suggestions are deeply appreciated.
