Hello! I don’t know how, but one of the hard drives I have got completely erased. I’m trying to recover the movies I had one by one, but it’s difficult. On the Plex server, the movies are there, but when you enter them, it says the drive (F:) where they were, but of course, it says NOT AVAILABLE.
Isn’t there a way to get a list of all those movies, so I don’t have to look at each one individually and see which ones were on drive F:?
We can view by years, by rating, by duration, etc. But I think it should be possible by the hard drive where they “are”.
You want to use “Export Tools” part of it to export a list of all your media to a CSV file you can open in a spread sheet app.
The various “levels of export” tell it what information to include, like the folder path to the media file. In the wiki part of it has instructions for install and use. if after you install you still can’t figure it out plenty of folks here can help you where you might be stuck
In addition to Export Tools, you can also use the Find Media section of WebTools.
It compares what is in the Plex Database to what is on the file system and generates a report listing missing files.
Find Media works best if you run it on the system running Plex Media Server (since it has to access the file system). You can run it on other systems, but additional steps are necessary.
Export Tools accesses the server API, not the file system, so it can run on a different system if that is easier.
