Does anyone know of a scanner that works for .opus files? I have quite a few that I want to add to my Library, but plex has been fighting me at every turn. I know you can add a new audio\_ext to AudioFiles.py, but this soon gets overwritten. When it is able to pull them in, it refuses to even read the metadata that I spent so long making sure was right. This is a regular ogg file, so it should just be able to use the same setup. (Which doesn't work, sadly...)   I threw together some code that shows it should be possible to extra the metadata info from .opus files with mutagen. I got the idea because there's already an oggopus.py parser included with the install, but no clue how to add this into a custom scanner. Any help would be greatly appreciated!   (Btw, put this code in a directory with .opus files) ``` #!/usr/bin/env python import os, sys from mutagen import File as MFile #import mutagen.mp3 #import mutagen.id3 #import mutagen.flac #import mutagen.oggvorbis #import mutagen.oggopus TYPES = { ‘mp3’: ‘MP3’, ‘aac’: ‘AAC’, ‘alac’: ‘ALAC’, ‘ogg’: ‘OGG’, ‘opus’: ‘Opus’, ‘flac’: ‘FLAC’, ‘ape’: ‘APE’, ‘wv’: ‘WavPack’, ‘mpc’: ‘Musepack’, ‘asf’: ‘Windows Media’, ‘aiff’: ‘AIFF’, } workingDirectory = “./” fileListMetadata = # Get list of files in directory fileList = os.listdir(workingDirectory) # Clean up fileList to be in order fileList.sort() # Scan through the fileList and remove those which are not audio files for filename in fileList: Metadata = tag = MFile(filename, None, True) file, fileExtension = os.path.splitext(filename) # read file extensions if fileExtension[1:] not in TYPES: # clean out files that are not audio files fileList.remove(filename) # if it’s not an audio file, we don’t want it else: if type(tag). **name** is ‘OggOpus’: # Extract metadata artist = (str(MFile(filename, None, True)[‘ARTIST’])) # might need [3:-2] to clean up tags?? album = (str(MFile(filename, None, True)[‘ALBUM’])) title = (str(MFile(filename, None, True)[‘TITLE’])) track = (str(MFile(filename, None, True)[‘TRACKNUMBER’])) disc = (str(MFile(filename, None, True)[‘DISCNUMBER’])) TPE2 = (str(MFile(filename, None, True)[‘ALBUMARTIST’])) ``` Metadata.append(filename) Metadata.append(artist) Metadata.append(album) Metadata.append(title) Metadata.append(track) Metadata.append(disc) Metadata.append(TPE2) # Add the set to the list of metadata fileListMetadata.append(Metadata) ``` print fileListMetadata ``` ---

Don’t have much time to code it and maintain but thought i would give pointers. the code above should allow for a quick hack of existing music scanners easilly - Codec info [https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/70734/opus-audio-codec](https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/70734/opus-audio-codec) -
