Server Version#: Version 1.16.2.1297
I have 1222 Movie folders in my file system, I have used MediaElch to rename them all and add metadata but only 1218 appear in Plex. I am not even sure how to work out which 4 are not being detected, is there a way to see what folders Plex is ignoring when scanning the Movie library?
On a side note CouchPotato recognises 1220 Movies
Maybe they are in a Collection?
In Web-Client, switch from By Title to By Year to see if that makes a difference, and if not, use:
Is there a chance you have separate folders for different cuts of the same movie? By default Plex would try to combine them under a single entry.
I just stumbled on this topic; I run Linux not FreeBSD, but I still
think you should be able to use ‘find’ or equivalent to create
a list of the movies on your filesystem. Separately, you
should be able to query your Plex database to get the list of
movies in the database. Then use ‘comm’ or equivalent
to compare the 2 lists.
But that’s what the tool I linked towards does!
So are you saying if a movie goes into a collection it will dissapear from your ‘Plex’ library ?. I have the very same problem. 279 movies in my database all of which are named correctly, yet only 265 show up in my Plex library. On your collections suggestion, I have 69 movies in collections all of which still appear as normal in the library. Like many others with this very same problem there does not appear to be a difinitive answer anywhere on the forum.
Depends on the settings of the Library
And the definitive answer is:
- Either in a collection
- Bad named, so matched wrongly, and into a duplicate of another movie
- Bad named, so not in the Library at all
- File rights are wrong, so PMS doesn’t have rights to scan the movie
Thanks for the info. I’ll go through my files one by one.
ExportTools might be helpful as well…
( Export, and sort on the Part File Path column )
