I use Handbrake to create the file/folder on a different system, then move (sneaker-net) the file/folder to my media server as the directories on my server are read only. The directory I use on the media server is the same for Plex and Kodi.
It would be a lot easier if Plex would indicate in the folder view which items are not matched as Kodi does. It would also be easier if the sorting sequence was the same between the 2 systems. There is no consistency so it makes matching the lists very difficult and time consuming. At least Plex follows the same sort sequence in folder view as Windows so maybe I’ll just use that to identify which files are not matched.
I’m not sure what the ‘Plex Dance’ will accomplish as I don’t really relish the idea of moving 1400+ files from one directory to another only to potentially end up in the same situation…but I might. I just have to think of how it might effect my Kodi data base.
What I can’t understand is why there are so many mismatches. I just found The Call of The Wild was listed as something entirely different.
Thanks for sticking with me on getting this resolved.
