What distro are you using?

88

Iā€™m using 0.3.12.898c1ee.

I was thinking OS here :wink:

90

Sorry. Iā€™m using Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS.

dane22 - first off, thanks so much for all your work on WebTools-NG! Itā€™s amazing and Iā€™ve been using it for the last few months so I can get a handle on my Plex library, collections, etc. I posted this in another thread but has the apostrophe issue been solved yet and included in any updated releases? I just did an export the other day and noticing that all fields with text arenā€™t displaying the '. As an example, The Worldā€™s End movie title is displaying in xls as The World s End. Again appreciate any response you have and happy to help beta test to help out!

92

Sadly, Iā€™ve been under heavy work load for the last couple of month, so simply havenā€™t had time for this little hobby if mine :frowning:

So not there yet

93

Not necessary, but would be really cool to see information about transitioning or ā€œupgradingā€ from WebTools 3.0.0.

94

They are two completely different beasts, doing different things, so there is no upgrade/transition

The only thing they share is their main developer (Me) and part of their name and icon

95

I understand they are different, but is NG not intended to be a successor? Or am I wrong there?

I led with transition, as something as simple as ā€œUninstall WebTools, Install WebTools-NGā€ would be sufficient. Iā€™m just not sure what all issues might arise from having them side by side? Would there be a default port overlap for example?

Thanks!

96

Nope, since it sadly canā€™t be, due to no access to the file system.

Old one was running under the PMS Plugins system, where NG version is a pure C/S based app, that doesnā€™t even have to run on the same server as the PMS

They can 100 % coexist

This is very probably a very stupid question, but anyway:

Where does ExportTools fetch all its data?

It canā€™t be com.plexapp.plugins.library.db alone. For example, looking at the table metadata_items in this database you find at most 2 genre tags and 3 stars tags, a subset of what is actually exported by ExportTools. So where is the extra data coming from?

Thanks!

On a movie, select info, and then view XML

Thatā€™s where we get the info from

101

Well, yes ā€“ but then: from which libraries are all these data sourced?

After all, I want to manage those libraries, and obviously, itā€™s not enough to look at com.plexapp.plugins.library.db.

102

Well, you did ask where WebTools-NG got itā€™s info from :wink:

And info is extracted from PMS from the databases com.plexapp.plugins.library.db and com.plexapp.plugins.library.blobs.db

103

Well, okay, I figured it out now. metadata_items is only a short summary, not the real thing.

104

Hi all,

Apologies if this has been posted or if Iā€™m posting in the wrong place, this looks like a thread rather than a forum.

Please could someone explain how I can use WebTools-NG to give me a list of all Unmatched media (Movies, TV, Music etc)?

Many Thanks

105

You can already do that using the regular library features of Plex. Thereā€™s a filter option in Plex Web to show only unmatched content from a libraryā€¦
