…But I am learning. You won’t need version data or screen shots for this! Just a couple simple (I think) questions. During my installation I read a great number of site pages, all were very helpful. So last week I came across a site that gave some very detailed information as to how to compare t…

It could be that you have the library set to automatically create collections (I think it’s on by default) If that option is enabled it will combine the movies in a collection into a single item in the library, so the count will appear to be off. Edit the movie library, and on the advanced tab, fi…

I’m not trying to work with the database. I am looking for a site I saw that helps users to understand why their might be a discrepancy between the number of movie files in the media/movies folder and the number shown as scanned by Plex. Currently I have 1738 movie files in the media/movies director…

When you say files, are you comparing actual movie files with .mkv, .mp4, .m4v, etc. extensions or are you including the number with additional files like extras, and possibly extra versions like a Directors Cut. For starters you can check to see if anything needs to be split apart if it was catego…

All of my movies are in separate folders, for example: /media/movies/Under Siege 2 (1995)/Under Siege 2 (1995).mkv and /media/movies/Up In The Air (2009)/Up In The Air (2009).mp4 /media/movies/Up In The Air (2009)/Up In The Air (2009).srt …and the count I mentioned above is the count of directo…

Are you not able to pull up your browser history?

Yes, I can access browser history… But I don’t understand how that helps. Can you elaborate as to what I should be looking.

How many are listed in the library as Unmatched? Using the library filtering above.

You keep referencing back to it and I don’t know what you’re referring to, you just keep saying you had a website that had info.

Similar to Webtools, you can use Tautulli but it will also export a cvs file of your Movie Library with the paths… unfortunately, just like the problem within Plex, it cannot distinguish whether or not a movie has been misidentified unless you actually go down line by line and that’s similar to goin…

Something I use to use was https://www.tinymediamanager.org/ and would have it read the movie folder structure to have another way to compare that to the one in Plex.

Instead of working directly with the database, have a look at Webtools-NG. This app allows the export of comprehensive library data to CSV.
