I’ve created a new java app that can be built on Mac and Windows and will tidy up your movies Plex database.
You can download the java source and build yourself a copy from https://github.com/LordXerra/Plexible
I wanted to tidy up my movies media folder and make the files all plex visible because sometimes it’s been known to bork out if a filename makes no sense, so you just never see the movie on the server and can’t watch it.
This app will scan a folder to list all filenames and then tidy up extra spaces, search the movies year on imdb (editable after the scan if there is a mistake or multiple films with the same name) and create the filename in a plex friendly format of movie name, year of release in brackets and leave the file extension alone. It will also flag up duplicate files, if you have them.
Usually it’s a two button operation. Press Scan, look through the edits it’s going to make and then hit process to action them, if you’re happy for it to continue.
Hope some people get some good use out of this. It sorted all my media out nicely.
