Random Posters missing after moving to a new server

Okay, I’ll keep it this way for now. But how can I fix the problem with the missing movies on the new location? The more i check out my library the more movies I find that are not available (And in opposite to the ones in the screenshot not created again separately). Will they reappear when I remove the old location and just rescan the directories?

Edit: And can I see a list of all “unavailable” movies? I can’t find that as a filter.

As always in life: It depends…
Inspect the file names of those items. If they’re named unclear or ambiguous, matching may fail. or they may appear under a completely wrong movie name or may appear as duplicate versions of other movies in the library.

A wholly different approach would be to copy the primary database file again from the NAS and then edit it directly. Thus replacing all the Linux-style path names with their Windows counterparts.
This would ensure that every item would keep its original matching. But it is much more involved and requires some knowledge of SQL: [HowTo] Plex database modification - Moving media the right/wrong way - #10 by jelwell

I’m trying to inspect them, but I don’t see which ones are affected - Some posterless movies just don’t have a poster because of the other problem, some just weren’t found.
Can I find all unavailable movies? Is there a filter or something to get a list of all of them? This way i can see if they are a lot or if i can do it manually.

There is an “unmatched” filter. But it won’t catch those items, which are mismatched.
You might find the “duplicates” filter useful, to find some of those though.

That’s what I thought. :confused:

But the Duplicates filter finds only the ones that are already joined in one movie. In my case the movies are there twice with one not being available or only the not available one is showing :confused:
