Ah, so now it does? I see… And any knowledge about the former question I asked? do you know anything about that? or how to let Plex know there is really more in that folder?
It does, if your server operating system is based on Windows 10 and above.
By sticking to the naming requirements, and keeping in mind some restrictions that Plex still has when it comes to music. Like no support for multiple album artists.
Windows server 2019 is based off of Windows 10, so that is ok…
Might is be the long names? because everything is neatly checked, did that a few years ago to get the garbage out, but it still puzzles me why the old installation showed everything there was and now not anymore…
Can you tell about these restrictions or did I already overdid my stay here?
That depends. Are the actual media stored inside the server machine, or are they located on external network files shares/NAS devices?
If the latter, count the number of characters in the file path (including the actual file names). If the number exceeds 255, it might be the file names.
I recommend to put extensive titles only into the embedded metatags.
If you have a collection which not only collects just one version of official album releases, but also has several of them, box sets, inofficial/bootleg releases etc, then you probably need to enable “Prefer local metatags”.
And that in turn requires your meta tags to be immaculate, and your folder structure to be flawless as well.
Good morning, I have looked at one folder that was not recognized in Plex that had long naming but it hardly passed over 65 spaces, so this is not a naming size problem.
I think I’ll leave it at this, wait until my HP Proliant is at ease and scanned all the folder files and then I will take a look at it.
Maybe I’ll pick this thread up within the coming three months.
For now, Thanks for your insight and help so far.
