Hi there, long time Kodi user who is happily moving over to Plex for less tinkering with, and more enjoyment of, my content! One thing I’m noticing is the PMS scrapper does not pick up all the movies in the folders I have added. Currently I have 1394 movies across three parent folders (separate HDD’s) added to the Movie Library, and am using the Plex Movie Agent with Plex Movie as the primary source, and Local Media Assets unchecked. Plex has only picked up 1206 movies.
I’m pretty meticulous with naming conventions, and have each film in its own sub-folder within the parent folder added to the movie library. Each sub-folder and the movie file within it have the same name: “Movie Title (Year Released) - Additional Info Sometimes”
Kodi has no issues picking up all 1394 films, and considering both it and Plex use IMDB and TMDB for scrapping I’m surprised to have run into this issue. My questions are:
- Is there a way to look at a list of the movies Plex hasn’t matched and/or downloaded metadata for, so that I can manually adjust file names or do manual matching or similar?
- If not, are they any other suggested solutions?
In Kodi I would just go the each specific Folder added to the library, scroll through and see the films not picked up as blank tiles amongst the list. Plex seems to just have the complete library to explore with only the films it has picked up from what I can currently gather.
Cheers for any assistance, Ryan
