Movie & TV Collector Wizard (Know what you are missing in your collection)

[MSG125]

Hi Plex & Users,
I have been a movie collector for years and with the times have moved to leveraging Plex to enable me to scale my collection in a consumable format. Something I do manually through lists is identify additional media like movies, tv episodes, etc that are missing from my collection. I think it would be great for Plex to know the movies I have and allow me to know what is missing in the collection. An example could be if I own Die Hard 1 and Die Hard 2 but not Die Hard 3, Plex should flag that Die Hard 3 is missing and call that out to me in someway. This would be a fun way to know what I a am missing, access the list via Plex and plan for the next movie I will be hunting for. This can be used for TV shows to. Sometimes I am missing an TV episode and don’t know it. It would be great to have Plex inform me. Especially, if I record the TV show via Plex as reruns can be all over the place. The version two of this feature would tell me where I can get it online. Leverage a site like Yidio (https://www.yidio.com/) which would tell you where it is streaming right now.

Let me know what you think?

There is already a feature suggestion for missing series episodes:

Option to show MISSING seasons and episodes

I have access to a friends shared library and every time I go into a episode "folder" I have to carefully look if there are missing ones before starting to watch anything(I hate starting to watch a show, to only find out that there are missing episodes in-between them all).   It would be so much easier is there was an option in Plex, that the client could turn on/decide if he wants to show missing episodes ("Make missing episodes visible") The missing episodes could be just listed as normal o…

I don’t think the above linked Feature Request makes this a duplicate. That request dates back to 2014, well before Collections came out.

With the new Plex Collections, this should be much easier to do and make much more sense on how to display.

I agree. It is just asking to display a negative when there is one. Logic: Do you have a movie in a collection. If yes. Are all the movies in the collection there according to movie database or other repository. If no, highlight this is missing so we can seek. To fill out the collection.

A request for the same feature exists already, and it has more votes.

Plex creates a list of movie's I am missing in a collection

Plex will automatically look at your movie & TV Show’s to see what you are missing in the movie collection or TV series. This will help all the movie/show collectors to know what they need to add to their collection so they can fill in the gaps without the manual effort of looking each one up. With the current collection feature Plex already knows through third party databases what is missing so why not expose that in a separate menu. An example would be if I own Die Hard 1 and Die Hard 2 but…

Therefore this one is closed, to prevent spreading the votes across several threads, even though they vote for the same (or at least very similar thing).

Votes are given back to the users who voted on this request. Please think of re-voting in the other thread if you still want it.
