Server Version#: 1.31.3.6819 (QNAP) Player Version#: Any ( WebApp 4.103.2) Recently my server hasn’t been matching newly added series\seasons. It adds the series to Plex and lists them in the library with local data but isn’t matching and downloading metadata until I match them manually at which p…

One of the metadata devs took a look and two things they think are tripping matcher up the [SubsPlease] or [HorribleSubs] at the start of the file name which it should be ignoring but isn’t for some reason and the 01v2 (which i am guessing is supposed to mean Season 1 Episode 2) Urasekai Picnic/…

How many total media folders do you have ? The default maximum on QNAP 5.0.1 kernel is 131,072 directories This includes from the top of where the media starts down through all subdirectories [/share/Public] # sysctl -a | grep max_user fs.epoll.max_user_watches = 201789 fs.inotify.max_user_insta…

Thanks for the suggestion… and quick response. I have ~2400 directories across 4 library folders (2000 of those are for my music library). When I run that command at /share/media I get fs.epoll.max_user_watches = 3298406 fs.inotify.max_user_instances = 256 fs.inotify.max_user_watches = 262144 Bu…

2400 is well less than the inotify max_user_watches limit. :white_check_mark: ( if the table is full, automatic detection won’t always work because the desired directories aren’t in the watch list - -before it overflowed ) You can add media if you “Scan Files” manually?

If I add media, it shows up in Plex just fine automatically - no ‘scan files’ required - but it doesn’t do the automatic match; doesn’t pull metadata\artwork until I manually “match” it. It seems to only impact when I add a folder\directory. Individual files (episodes) don’t have a problem being ma…

We’ve asked the engineer to look. We’ll know if anything is found. No need to speculate until then?

I saw that post too, so when I noticed my situation happened twice I thought of that post but it seemed a little different, so started a new post… but it does seem similar. @ChuckPa [image] ChuckPa: We’ve asked the engineer to look. We’ll know if anything is found. No need to speculate until…

I am going to point out your naming issues: Sakura Trick/[HorribleSubs] Sakura Trick - 12 [720p].mkv My canned response is to see https://support.plex.tv/articles/naming-and-organizing-your-tv-show-files/ and: If you want to save yourself a lot of time I would recommend using Download - tinyMedia…

I know about the proper naming conventions… I’ve been doing this for many many years so I “cheat” to get away with it when I know I can, but I do it “proper” when I need to do it proper (which I didn’t do with Sakura Trick). Fair to point out - and the tool you recommend I’ve recommended to others s…

Just a quick update. After having 5 series not match the last few days… I added one today and it automatically matched correctly. I had restarted the Plex service again between then and now so maybe that did it but I’d done that already so I’m not sure. I thought I’d upload another log set from sh…
