I recently had my Plex drive die on me so I’ve been rebuilding my library from my backups. Currently I am having trouble getting the server to recognize certain albums. I will admit that my naming on my music files isn’t perfect. However I have made sure that the problem files are formatted correctly and that everything should work for them I have attached the media scanner log and screenshots of the file trees and how they appear in my plex server.

I tried changing file names (hence the misspellings) to get the scanner to pick it up but it only scanned one file as shown in the logs. What should I do? I’ve checked the folder permissions and they are correct.

I tried deleting the entire artist folder from my plex drive, rescanning, then adding back the artist folder, then rescanning. This resulted in a new album being picked up but deleting the classics album in the previous screen shot. Here are some more logs

I have also fixed the spelling mistake in Winehouse. No change on plex.

I wish you luck and feel your pain. Plex’s Media Scanner has a lot to be fixed in it. You should see the mess it leaves my correctly tagged collection in, within its library.

I ended up deleting the music library from plex and readding it. That got me a full scan.
