I have a problem with my Plex, he doesn’t found some movies in my folder and I don’t know why. I respect all specifications to add movies but anything work…
I decided to reset all preferences of my Plex to start another time with default preferences.
It will be useful or not ? If someone had answer for me ?
I really need help because Plex doesn’t see all my new movies or TVShow in my folders…
Settings - Server - General - Show Advanced
a. Make certain DEBUG logging is checked (enabled)
b. Make certain VERBOSE logging is not checked (disabled)
Restart PMS
Wait about 1 minute for it to startup and settle.
Settings - Server - Troubleshooting - Download Logs
Your logs show me VERBOSE is still ON. Please remember to click SAVE when making changes.
I do see Plex finding new TV Series. I do not see it scanning movies.
Does user plex have access to the files? ( Linux is very strict about security on Synology)
If you changed the names after they were scanned, PMS won’t detect the new names. You will need move the files to a different area, “Scan Files”, “Empty Trash” and “Clean Bundles” before moving them back to be scanned again.
Yes Plex scan TV Series but It miss one serie which is (The bureau -> Le bureau des légendes in French) Maybe Plex doesn’t found it in French. I will try to rename it in English and scan it again…
Normally User Plex is correctly configure. Plex have access to my folder (write/read) so, all access.

you may need to move the media files out, scan, empty trash, clean bundles, rename, then move back into position.
No I didn’t use exactly the same structure but I don’t know why I necessarily use this structure because it for some other movie or series I’m not used this this structure and it work… But I really think that problem of my plex isn’t this
I will try your structure tomorrow because in France is 11:00 pm. Thank you a lot for your help
Everything is verified by FileBot (using TheTVDB first) then renaming after you accept (click Rename). It will move the media into the structure for you.
{n} = Name
{s} = Season ; '.pad(2)' pads to 2 digits with with leading zero
{t} = Episode title
