Player Version#: Not Important
Posting this more of an FYI than anything else. I discovered today that S01E02
of this show was missing from my plex server. If you use something like Filebot for your media naming and you include the episode name in the file then its possible that Mrs. Fletcher S01E02
could be missing from your plex server. You might not have even noticed (like me)!
The episode is called Free Sample
. This is how I had the file named Mrs. Fletcher - S01E02 - Free Sample.mp4
. The episode is short 29 minutes and with the encoding I have the filesize is 287mb.
As the word sample is in the name and the file is under 300mb plex will automatically skip it as per → https://support.plex.tv/articles/201381883-special-keyword-file-folder-exclusion
Anyhow, just posting this in case its of any help to anyone who finds this missing and can’t figure out why. I’ve now called the file Mrs. Fletcher - S01E02 - Free S a m p l e.mp4
and plex scans it.
Maybe plex should consider reducing the size of special exclusion as encoding improves and files get smaller. I’ll let them decide that …
TIP: If your on linux can you can something like this to find anything else that might have slipped passed:
find <media path> -size -300M -type f -iname '*sample*'
