yeah I understand that, but I do not expect my existing MUSIC RATINGS to be disappearing just because the video scanner is in testing ?
That why the version numbering is off from the normal version, collections for movies aren’t even included.
There is a warning in bold type…
understood, NEW movie library.
but this should not be affecting any existing libraries, that is my point…
at least not without very clear warning
it (not necessarily the new scanner, but this build) is affecting my music library, which is not expected.
I suspect this might be due to the periodic refreshing of Music metadata that the butler does in all PMS releases (not specific to this build) and that the ratings might be missing from or music metadata provider.
I do know that this new scanner shares some code with the music scanner so it could be related (I will let @drzoidberg33 confirm) but in the mean time Could you provide some albums as examples that lost their ratings? Also are these personal star ratings or something else?
hiyas, these are personal ratings, for stuff that has been in the library a long time.
every week or so, I use the below filter to ensure all tracks have a default rating (no unrated tracks).
I was doing this today and see a continuously increasing number of unrated tracks (that are not new content).
I would select all and edit them, then a few minutes later, more would keep showing up.
the attached logs above should show the refreshing or whatever happening, I started watching the log when it was happening.
I don’t know what the central driving force behind this new scanner is, but I’m impressed so far.
It’s fast, and reasonably accurate. I use Radarr to do all of my file-sorting (except for extras, which… let’s discuss those another time) and it seems to have picked up on everything right.
Questions:
- Is there any chance of this being able to be changed for existing libraries later on?
- Will this be applicable/adapted for Music and TV libraries too?

No, this option is unchecked by default and I kept it that way.
Running: PlexMediaServer-1.19.5.2889-52a517a93-MyCloudEX2Ultra
Yes. You will be able to upgrade existing libraries when this goes out in a public release, this is not enabled right now as there are still features (like Collecitons) which are not implemented here yet.
Music already uses the new system. TV will come after movies.

I found there was an issue with using 3-letter language codes. I’ll fix this in the next build.
Thanks for the report!

Hello, when trying to use the country filter, i get no result :(.
Is it not yet implemented ?
Not yet but it’s something on the TODO list.
Any chance this scanning will get faster…
TMM can do my whole library in under an hour (rescan)
Now Plex used to take 14+ hours and you have it down to 9+ hours, heading in the correct direction.
Most definitely. We’re working on optimizations daily but as this is still an early build this is not something we’ve invested the time in yet. I cannot promise any hard numbers but I’m working on this aspect currently.

Version 1.19.5.2889:
I created 3 lib, 1 ( Movies_3D) of them the advanced option seems keep the “old” version of the settings ( from the branch 1.19.4).
Deleted the library , recreated with same name, same issue.
Uninstall totally plex, cleanup manually the reg db ( btw your un-installer should be review… leave so much data everywhere… even branch 1.19.4 , including the reg db). delete the database.
reinstall and recreate same lib with same name, same issue Oo …
Where do you store the lib information if it’s not inside the reg and the plex database folder ?
also can find anymore on the general settings the folder option for the location of the DB, the one managing by the reg:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Plex, Inc.\Plex Media Server]
“LocalAppDataPath”=“pathfolder”
Are you caching the lib on your webapp app.plex.tv ?
@Dracossan are you using the web app bundled with the preview build? i.e. http://127.0.0.1:32400/web
I’m fairly curious about this new scanner (and the plan for the new TV scanner in the future). However, I upload a lot of custom metadata such as custom posters, collection posters/backdrops, collection summaries, and for TV, custom posters, custom season descriptions, custom season names, etc. These are all managed through the Plex metadata system, i.e. none of them are stored locally.
I was wondering if the new agent was released and I was to “upgrade” my existing library, would all of this custom metadata be lost? Things like posters have taken considerable effort to curate over a long period of time, so just trying to debate on how to manage the assets going forward (storing them locally or something?)
Right now it is recommended to only use the new agent with a new database for testing and not with your current database as you could lose that database if it doesn’t upgrade well with a beta release.
Right, I am not asking for the test version of the agent, but what the plans are for upgrading an existing library once the agent is released. Just so I can plan on how to manage my custom metadata going forward.
The “old” scanner does not handle IMDB ids of TV movies well. While it may not be something that has been part of the original license deal, entering an IMDB ID of a TV movie in a manual search should of course deliver a result in any case - by now, it does NOT.
