Plex is not seeing my files

Post by davzell »

Hello,

I use AMC Script and filebot to rename file for a Plex server.

Example of my script

Code: Select all

Filebot -script fn:amc --output "E:\PLEX" -non-strict "E:\VIDEOS" --log-file amc.log  --action duplicate --def unsorted=y seriesFormat='{plex'}
it works well and created E:\PLEX\TV Shows\Dexter - New Blood\Season 01\Dexter - New Blood - S01E04 - H is for Hero.mkv

I don't know why but plex don't see my file.
If i rename the file with Kodi format, like "Dexter- 1x04 - H is for Hero" my file appear on Plex server but with "Season 01" in name.


i try to replace {plex} by {kodi} but it not working.

have you an idea to correct this problem ?

Re: Problem with AMC SCRIPT and Plex

Plex not seeing files that are there sounds like a Plex problem entirely unrelated to FileBot.


:arrow: You might need to perform the The Plex Dance™ to force Plex to scan for new files correctly:

This script uses multiple format expressions, so the simple --format option is not supported. You can override the default naming schemes via the --def movieFormat, seriesFormat, animeFormat and musicFormat options. Relative paths will be resolved against --output and you can use absolute paths if you want to use multiple drives.

Code: Select all

--def movieFormat="M:/{plex}" seriesFormat="S:/{plex}" animeFormat="T:/{plex}" musicFormat="U:/{plex}"
You can use a custom series format like so:

Code: Select all

--def seriesFormat="{kodi}"
