hello, Plex Media Server Logs_2022-08-15_10-33-36.zip (4.5 MB) i have a library in plex that is constantly being scanned, and i have no idea why. here are the logs

[image] patrickwhalen: ${title} (${year}) (${imdb}) I don’t use that tool myself but off the top of my head this might do it … ${title} (${year}) {imdb-${imdb}} Otherwise lets see if someone else from the community who does use it comes along and shows the right syntax.

i used that token, and it was able to rename the file. looking through my logs did you see anything else that i need to fix?

Nothing objious I could see. I would scan your libraries again after the rename of your media, let plex do it work and see if the situation improves. If not then a fresh set of logs afterwards would probably be best.

the issue is. the library will constantly scan, and if i press cancel, it will stop but then continue right away, i did rename all of the movies to have the {} curly brackets in the tag, i will get plex to scan the library and see what it does.

And let the scan complete… If you have a lot of content if might take some time. I’m guessing it might not have been matching right which is causing it to attempt to match each time a scan is started. The right format now could be helpful.

ok so i had plex rescan the library called comedy specials and there is only 206 items, and its been scanning for 10 minutes. so there is something weird happening. Plex Media Server Logs_2022-08-15_13-30-42.zip (4.3 MB)
