Correct! The playlists that are in the “What Day Is It” directory do not appear, nor does the folder name (which i don’t expect to appear anyway - the directory names don’t appear in Plex either, just the playlists they contain)
UPDATE: I was blind… I added ‘Poster URL’ when I really needed to add ‘Export Poster’. I’m re-doing the export now. Ignore the 1st two paragraphs below (italicised), although it still would be nice to find out where ‘Poster URL’ actually resides.
I’m probably missing something entirely when it comes to exporting poster art with ExportTools. I’ve created a custom level and included the ‘Poster URL’ field. The extract from my database took over 8.5 hours but it did seem to work.
The problem is, the ‘Poster URL’ field is populated with fields like ‘/library/metadata/39975/thumb/1607632510’. Where is this ‘/library/metadata/’ location? I’ve browsed through my Plex configuration folder, looked on my local system (I used WebTools-NG from my MacBook Pro), and even by opening a console/terminal in the Plex Docker container to search for it. In the old ExportTools (which no longer works for me) it would extract the poster art to a folder alongside the .csv or .xlsx. Is this still possible?
On the WebTools front, are there plans to add the ‘FindMedia’ script to WebTools-NG? As my library is quite large (as evidenced by the time it took to do an export), I used to run the ‘FindMedia’ script on my libraries monthly so I could continue working on unmatched items, items missing metadata, items not in the database or items in the database but not found in my media paths.
I’m running the last release from June 8th (V0.3.12.898c1ee) but haven’t enabled beta updates. I really
appreciate the efforts to keep WebTools and ExportTools alive. I’m unfortunately weak in my coding skills so I’m not likely much help, but I am retired and do have time to try things if you need a quick test candidate.
Thanks @trumpy81 - I updated my post earlier indicating I found that it was the ‘Export Poster’ field I needed, not ‘Poster URL’. I’m still wondering where the location is that ‘Poster URL’ refers to… as mentioned I couldn’t find it in my Plex config folder, inside the Plex Docker container or on the local system (Mac) that I ran WebTools-NG from.
I’m now re-running the export with just a few fields and it is extracting the posters to a Posters folder alongside the .csv. I had the poster size set correctly but it looks like I got caught with the large library .xlsx bug. It stopped exporting about 25% of the way through my library. I’ll try disabling the .xlsx output and re-running as I can manually import the .csv to Excel if I desire a .xlsx copy.
Bummer about the FindMedia script… I’m desperate enough that I might just have to do some skill upgrading so I can make the old version work again.
And regarding FindMedia from the “old” WebTools, then it’s tricky, since the new one might not on the same box as the PMS, and as such, has no way of scanning til file-system
Thanks for clarifying that. Just as an FYI, I’ve had two failed attempts to grab the posters for my main movies library. It’s a very large library so I suspected the previously mentioned issue of .xlsx creation was the cause of the 1st failure.
The 2nd run (with .xlsx creation disabled) has been running for over 7 hours, but it appears to have stalled and hasn’t written anything to the posters folder (and I assume the .csv.tmp file) for the last 90 mins. I took a quick look at the logs and there is an entry from 12:59am (about 90 mins ago coincidentally) stating that it couldn’t retrieve a poster and it looks like it stopped then… about 3/4 the way to a complete export.
I’ll try the export again later today but I’ll leave the current export in progress even though it appears to be stalled, just in case. Should I bump up my log level? What about opting in for beta updates? Should I do that as well?
Too bad about the FindMedia script… like I said, I’ll have to do some skill upgrading so I can try to get the old one working again. In my case I’ll just set it up as a user script on the unRAID media server that my PMS runs on, assuming I can get it working.
Having had to rebuild my Plex server I am trying to reinstall WebTools but unfortunately I am getting error messages. I guess this is something to do with my server build.
The first problem I got was when I tried to run the executable I got the following error message: error while loading shared libraries: libnss3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I used the following commend apt install libnss3-dev libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev libgtk-3-dev libxss-dev
which I found as a possible solution at the following web page: linux - "Error while loading shared libraries: libnss3.so" while running Gtlab CI job to perform automated testing using webdriverio - Stack Overflow
This seemed to solve the libnss3 error message but I now get the following error: Segmentation fault (core dumped)
I’m a Linux novice and haven’t found anything on the web that provides an obvious answer for what may be causing this.
Any help greatly received.
or ETA 
, or eventually fix 
???
