Yes, it is a great way to run your entertainment system. >Anyone here playing movies off an external hard drive Having an intuitive interface to find such discrepancies & tools to edit in bulk would go a long way to addressing such issues - be they built-in or a 3rd-party tool capable of interfacing with the db Unfortunately, as good as this solution is, it's not perfect: sometimes metadata is not scraped correctly by Plex, despite IMDB, TMDB & Trakt ID's being present in NFO's. some artist/cast/director media does not seem to port properly), but already a lot better than Plex native & completely removes the argument that the files are not formatted in the way Plex expects it. I make use of TinyMediaManager to do my initial sorting & fill in some of the numerous shortcoming inherent in Plex - finding correct data, pulling subtitles & art, writing NFO's, etc. Principal being that Plex's media management tools - or severe lack thereof - makes it incredibly hard to maintain a good, clean library. I've also been dealing with this issue (amongst a LOOOONG list) - a feature-set & complementary tools I took for granted coming from XBMC/Kodi. I think this is a valid question & /u/paulrharve圓 ad hominem insults do absolutely nothing to address the root issue being raised. Once you got that covered, just take that one minute, look up the movie/show on the scraper site and rename it takes about one minute to do that. Viable option when you’d have to adjust file and folder names for a library which grew over years and tons of entries but doesn’t match Kodi’s naming conventions. >I guess what I need is a library manager/editor. People are just too lazy to look up a movie/show on the scraper’s site and rename the folder + file. It already does that with conflicting titles even when following Kodi’s naming conventions. >How about: Parse the file name, let me choose the appropriate alternative, and Kodi can adjust the file name accordingly? I could choose from the same hits you can do when looking up the term on the site’s search feature: Now this might be specific to the scraper since I still scrape shows with scraper. I remember this happened only a few days ago when adding the Norwegian series Twin. When I scrape a show or movie with more than one hit, a dialogue pops up asking which one I mean. Please select one." No, it just take the most recent title and uses that, no questions asked. Kodi/the scraper doesn't return "Not found" or "The following entries match your file. but it most certainly IS Kodi's fault that the shows are listed improperly on my Kodi machine.
