Hey Rednoah,

I'm running Plex. I have a lot of TV series. I would like to use the amc script to sweep through my entire library ensuring all files are named correctly, all srt files are there (if available), and ensure my entire library is updated on myepisodes. However, I would like to avoid Plex marking everything as "newly added" for every show, and would definitely like to ensure my watched/unwatched do not get lost.

Is it possible to run amc using the same folder for both source and destination?

Or would it be better to:
1. Stop Plex
2. mv the entire library to a temporary location
3. create new folder with original folder name
4. Run amc (action move) from the temporary location back to the originally named location
5. Start Plex (and hope for best

If you have already added a given folder to Plex, and if you then go and move/rename the files inside, won't Plex think they're newly added anyway?

Using a temporary output folder and then switching it with the original location is possible. I'd use --action hardlink though so you can keep old and new structure without using disk space.
