Reporting on the PMS DB

Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files
1

Hi there,

Has anyone already tried to do produce some reports out of the PMS DB?

I have noticed some significant differences between the mp3 tags I have set and what the agents have discovered, so (in an ideal world) I would like to export the data out of PMS and match it against the data from my MediaMonkey DB

Any clue, any idea would be appreciated!

I write out artist reports on my DB fairly often (Mostly to find unmatched artists, or artists with no artwork or biography information). IN regards to tagging inforrmation, most of the metadata plex receives depends on your setup, as mine mostly pulls metadata from the cloud once it’s matched against musicbrainz, but it still pulls genre tags locally.

These kinds of tags and metadata are usually found on the metadata_items (for the artist itself), tags (for the genres, they are listed as tag_type = 1) and taggings (where the metadata_item.id and tags.id are linked together)

Hope that helps!

Try ExportTools
(yes, it is still working)

Hi,
Thanks a lot for the pointer.

I confirm, it is still working :slight_smile:
Being no tech expert, it took me a bit of fiddling to get it installed on my test server, but the ExportTools does the job… almost: I’m only missing the ‘genre’ tag

I’ll check this in the proper forum place

Thanks again!
