Missing Files! A lot of troubleshooting done!

Server Version#: 3.108.2
Player Version#:

I have missing movies in my plex library. Everything was fine when I was manually downloading and adding the movies, but now I have tried to use it with radarr, the movies I am adding do not show in plex. I have done the renaming convention to “Movie Title (YEAR)” for the folder and movie file. I had set my permissions in linux to chmod 777 for everything just to test and it still doesnt work. I then moved the file out, scanned library, emptied trash, cleaned bundles, moved the file back in and it still doesnt read.

The two movies I was testing this with was Aladdin (2019) and A Walk to Remember (2002).

Thank you

Give it another try carefully following the steps in The Plex Dance.

Although I haven’t used Radarr, if it just moves the video into place and that’s all, then your PMS would still need to do a Scan Library Files. It’s my understanding that automatic scanning is problematic, especially if you have Empty Trash after Scan checked. I turn off automatic scanning, and I turn off trash empty. I always do a manual scan.

I realize that’s not really optimal, and you’re trying to use Radarr to automate things.
Hopefully an expert will drop bye.

Sonarr and Radarr both will format the files and directories perfectly.
