Had a drive fail on my headless linux server that hosts only PMS and wanted to get a list of what was missing.

Have been migrating to new drives slowly, so no recent relevant backups or anything adjacent to recover from.

Went to use WebTools-NG “Find Media” to find what was missing. Since the drive died and can’t be mounted, I had to just link to the empty mountpoint in “library mapping” for that drive. The others are still fine.

“Find media” will process 700 of 746 files and then hang. I even tried letting it sit for long while, hours. It never finishes or lists what’s missing.

Is it that this tool is not built to provide a solution, to report the missing media and list said media in this particular situation (dead drive that can’t be mapped in global settings properly) or am I missing some kind of alternative or special settings, info, or setup?

Try and export the different libraries, and you should be able to get the file path

I see! I thought Find Media was the only way. The way it read I thought the export was for exporting the literal media and posters etc only. Then when I figured out the spreadsheet output what I got out was… daunting.

I realized later the default settings for output werent in global settings and wasn’t using a csv standard delimiter (it was set to pipes |) and so everything was just in one cell on each row. I thought maybe I needed some kind of special viewer or maybe it was just for reimport only. Then I found the export specific settings, switched to commas and the output was interpreted by excel and I found the pathways!

Thank you!

Hello everyone. Thank you for WebTools-NG. Is there a way to extract the “By Added Date” data (see screenshot of Plex server)?

In my extract from WebTools-NG, Column A is labeled as “Added” but these dates aren’t the dates I added them to Plex.

I would like to keep track of the dates I added movies to my collection.

256

Very good tool!

I need to find the date of the last playback of a content by any user in my library, can I?
When I use ExportTools, it only shows the date I watched it.

Can I change charset? “Mistério-Ficção” is appearing.

257

Sadly not, since that would req. the tool to logon as all the users one-by-one, and not good for this

Can I change charset?

The charset should be universal, as in utf-8

258

Can WebTools-NG be used to export the star ratings for individual audio tracks? I just downloaded the tool and it works great, but I am baffled that track ratings don’t seem to be included in the exported metadata. I did:
ExportTools > Audio > Audio Track > Music Library > All Export Level

edit: I guess not according to this page. But there has got to be some way to modify the program to make this work, right? Any suggestions for a different tool? :-/

Development has been on hold for a while, but you are welcome to fork the github repo and make the needed changes

As an alternative, maybe this one: Exporter Guide · Tautulli/Tautulli Wiki · GitHub

Thank you sir, I appreciate the guidance! Looks promising.
edit: Tautulli works great! No disrespect to WebTools-NG, but this is more in line with what I was looking for. Thanks again. I was able to backup my playlists too even though my current Plex database is corrupt and I cannot view the playslists through the web.

I agree. It makes no sense at all that we have to create a shortcut for this.

262

Is it possible to point the tool to a backup copy of an old plex media server folder? I recently lost a hard drive but was able to save a copy of my plex media server folder. I was hoping to use the tool to get a list of my old plex media content

263

No, it needs a running PMS, sorry

264

No problem thank you for the info

@claudia.thompson2
