Need help trying to figure out why the total amount of movies in plex do not match the total amount on my NAS

Plex Media Server NAS & Devices
1

in plex i have 5708 folders in folder view, but in regular view it shows 5706. and on my NAS in the movie folder I have 5708 movies.

how can I figure out what movie is missing in my plex library?

2

try filtering on duplicates.

I have done that and even tried the unmatched filter as well, but I dont have any duplicates or unmatched items.

Can you sort your library by anything but By Title?
This will show the actual # of movies (e.g. in case if your libraries has some collections, hiding their items in the regular view).

Another option could be some titles matching the movie spread across multiple files naming schema (e.g. My Movie - Part1.ext and My Movie - Part2.ext being treated as a single item My Movie → no duplicates involved in this case).

5

I sorted my library by year instead of by title and it shows the same amount of movies.

how do I see if movies have been spread across multiple files?

6

then it may be a part 1 and 2 it thought was first and second halves of one movie. Like Harry Potter Part 1, Harry Potter Part 2 if you have file names that end with those then i would do get info on those.

There is Web tools as well which may help with this general sort of thing WebTools-NG

It’ll be easier to check out the WebTools app linked above.
Scanning your logs for 2 missing items in a forest of almost 6k items won’t be a simple task :wink:

  1. In the linked post, go to the Install Here section.
  2. This will bring you to the project’s GitHub page with a link to the latest installer
    Releases · WebTools-NG/WebTools-NG · GitHub
  3. Expand the Assets section of the latest release
  4. Download the package for your PC (e.g. Mac, Windows, Linux → the app acts like a Plex client; you don’t have to install it physically on the same machine that runs the server
  5. Enjoy

They want you to export a CSV file from your movie library in the level All

Click here: Export · WebTools-NG/WebTools-NG Wiki · GitHub

After it’s done, compare the field named Part File Path with the folders in your file system

so it appears that two of the movies that were not in my library were
ghostbusters afterlife and 47 meters down.

on my synology, how can I make sure all movies and subfolders all have the same permissions? I recently had those 2 movies upgraded in radarr, I think it might be radarr that is changing the permissions on the folders.
