I’ve uploaded 4 seasons of Criminal minds, and have a single episode that’s erroring out with an ‘s1001’ error when trying to play it. The file plays on the host if I remote in and play via VLC. When looking at the file info via the web app, it appears the media info is missing. Is there a way to f…

Try to do an “analyze” on the file. If Plex scans the file mid-copy, Plex might see the empty 0 Byte file that is usually created by the file system on copy and fill all kinds of bad info. Analyze will tell Plex to re-“analyze” the file attributes (codec, length, subtitles, etc). If that fails to…

Analysis is still running - I’ll follow up when done and let you know how it goes. Thanks for the help!

Try taking the space out of the episode numbers. Change it from…. S03 E08 to S03E08 I tried the way you have it and at first, I got a “something went wrong” message for the whole library. Finally, the show populated but then under the media info it took forever to load the info It just said “l…

I’ll update naming convention for the collection - thanks for that. I saw this in the logs: Oct 14, 2022 11:49:36.125 [0x7fd814b1b808] DEBUG - Analyzing media parts for item 15571 (Lucky): 37059 Oct 14, 2022 11:49:36.126 [0x7fd814b1b808] DEBUG - [ID 37062] Media part analysis: /media/tv shows/Crim…

I’m stumped. At this point, I’d run it through handbrake, see if a re-encode might fix some un-detected video errors. Does anyone know if VLC might be detecting and working around video corruptions? If so, is there a log the OP could look at to see this happening? I’d wager VLC is more adept at …

[image] Divideby0: Does anyone know if VLC might be detecting and working around video corruptions? You can consider VLC a big media file “sewage plant”. You can send in sh*t and it will still play something in many cases. Plex is not that robust. If you are after a player which fails when …

Okay y’all - thanks for the help and suggestions. The fix ended up being a re-rip from another dvd player. (I think) I also named the episode without a gap between season and episode, and did the plex dance as prescribed. Crisis averted :slight_smile:

No dice. Did the plex dance, and media data is still showing empty. Plex won’t play it, even though the host can.
