How to import all existing media files into Plex library using AMC script.

Post by user555 »

Hello,

I've been using AMC script with postprocessing for rtorrent and it worked great with Plex but I lost my Plex database and now I would like to reimport library again.

At the moment I have ~/downloads full of media files (TV shows and Movies) but this location is not good for Plex because it's seeded from torrent clients and it's not Plex friendly.
Previously AMC script had taken care of this on download complete by symlinking files from downloads to ~/plex/media/Movies ~/plex/media/TVShows.
Is there a way to use AMC on already downloaded content to process every item in ~/downloads location so I can get Plex Library recreated with all items from ~/downloads ?

Kind Regards.

I must have thought that is more complicated than just using "/path/to/input" where actual path is root folder of all my media files. Thank you for great support.
