Any way to find movies that haven't been scanned/matched by emby?

[Jack Burton 94]

I was playing with the statistics plugin and noticed I have 3 more movie folders than it says I have movies, so somewhere I have 3 movies that weren't scanned or found by emby. Aside from hunting through over 1000 movie folders, is there a way to check for any folder emby didn't find a match for? I remember a feature like this with Kodi which was how I changed my formats for a ton of movies and shows.

The reports section might have something but i'm not positive.

[CharleyVarrick 277]

Nope, this feature is lacking, sadly.

I have 13k movies and 11K tv episodes, and nothing to tell me if their all accounted for, except taking a 6 months work leave and going thru them 1 at a time.

Missing Movie Scanner plugin, works great on standalone Kodi, but useless when combined to Emby peculiar "mac adress" file path

Where are you comparing the movie count from? 

 

I just compared Reports 'Movie" (3075) and added up the list on the statics plugin (3082).

 

Technically they are equal when you figured in the grouped "Collections".  I ungrouped Collections and the both show 3082.

I used an external program called Media Center Master that is my primary metadata handler.  This has the ability to display media that is missing various amounts of data, thus missing from your EMBY library.  It does have paid functionality, but I'm sure that feature is part of it's free usage.   Could give that a look at?

I used the statistics plugin. tv shows are right, but movies are off. Statistics plugin says 1346 movies, but I added up the folders of4 drives and got 1349 folders/movies. Definitely not a collections issue, as Emby Theatre reports a movie count based on items, which is 1040ish, meaning around 300 movies are grouped in collections. There's a 3 movie discrepancy between them. Ungrouping still results in 1346 movies, while my movie folder count is 1349

Cool, thanx. I'll give this a look. Appreciate the help

for a movie count via windows explorer put "kind:=video" into the top right search box - this will include all video files from the directory you are currently in say your "Movies" root folder and all sub folders

 

to eliminate extras use the following "kind:=video -folder:extras" or if you just want an extras count do "kind:=video folder:extras"

 

there are lots of ways to customise the search - works fine on network drives as well just a bit slower

 

depending on your version of windows the syntax maybe slightly different 

 

explorer gives you a total of items found

That would never work for me as I have local trailers also.  But I see OP concern as Emby should reflect at least as may folders that reside in parent folder.  So OP either has 3 folders with no content or maybe unknown format so they are not processed.

Thanx, I gave it a go and wound up with quite a bit more files than I expected, because it's including the theme videos as well. I swapped theme in "kind:=video -folder:extras"

instead of extras, but realized it wouldn't do anything since extras is a folder and themes are in the main folder per movie.

 

The problem is even if theme videos were omitted I'd get one of two outcomes. Either the total would be 1346 videos like the statistics plugin says, and I have 3 empty folders that I have no way of knowing which without going through each one, or I have 1349 videos, which would match my folder count but again have know way of knowing which 3 aren't showing up on Emby.

what you need is "kind:=folder size:empty" will bring up a all empty folders

 

as for eliminating trailers - could be done by name assuming they have a common syntax - say "trailer"

 

more likely is that they do not so do it by size

 

e.g. "kind:=video size:=>1GB" Or whatever size should eliminate all trailers or theme videos as both likely to be only a few minutes long compared to the movie

[PenkethBoy 2063]

Not being creative enough it will work with a little modification

 

But yes the reporting/finding inconsistencies in your data needs a big overhaul as i doubt many use reporting a lot on a regular basis - easier to do it directly on the db

[PenkethBoy 2063]

Sorry that size:empty does not work on my win10 machine - but you can do it with a powershell command

 

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff730953.aspx

 

(Get-ChildItem C:\Scripts -recurse | Where-Object {$_.PSIsContainer -eq $True}) | Where-Object {$_.GetFiles().Count -eq 0} | Select-Object FullName

 

which i tested this time - need an elevated PS windows to run and change "C:\scripts" to wherever your data store is

 

you get a few directories which are top level that only have other folders in but its easy to filter those out once you copy to excel the results

It would be a little work but a list was the direction I was thinking also, since you can export a excel or csv list in Reports and compare.

[Jack Burton 94]

what you need is "kind:=folder size:empty" will bring up a all empty folders

 

as for eliminating trailers - could be done by name assuming they have a common syntax - say "trailer"

 

more likely is that they do not so do it by size

 

e.g. "kind:=video size:=>1GB" Or whatever size should eliminate all trailers or theme videos as both likely to be only a few minutes long compared to the movie

This is very cool, I didn't know searches could be customized like this. Unfortunately "empty" found nothing on any drive, tried "huge" (16mb-128mb) as well, and nothing. Neat feature though

[PenkethBoy 2063]

yes the reason (as i found) that empty does not work on folders is that they do not have a size attribute - and hence why huge did not work either

 

hence why i went PS

[PenkethBoy 2063]

@@Happy2Play - i just did a quick and dirty copy from the PS window - but a dump to a file would be better

 

well that was easy append this to the PS commands

 

"| Out-File C:\filename.txt"

 

 

(Get-ChildItem C:\Scripts -recurse | Where-Object {$_.PSIsContainer -eq $True}) | Where-Object {$_.GetFiles().Count -eq 0} | Select-Object FullName | Out-File C:\filename.txt

 

And if necessary add "-Encoding utf8" to the end of the line if you have a need for non english characters etc

I thought somebody must have done this with an application as it's such a basic feature missing from Explorer

 

so a little google foo and i found this

 

Directory List & Print  http://www.infonautics-software.ch/directorylistprint/

 

Its free with basic feature - enough to find empty folders with ease etc and the Pro gives you extras - probably way more than you want

 

(Funny i thought i read a thread somewhere where people were */**/*/ about paying Emby for features - but i might have dreamed that    )

 

Exports to Word/Excel/HTML and Text files the results - oodles of options to refine your search

 

See below (Word and Excel Only for free version)

 

 

Pro version is only 18 euro's so i bought a copy

I've used FolderSize for a while now, it does what Windows should do by default, that is, show folder size inside a directory. It is 100% freeware, no limitations (network drives, for instance).

 

http://foldersize.sourceforge.net/

 

Once it has analyzed said directory (mere seconds, even for huge one's), a parallel explorer windows populates, then you can sort results by size, and investigate the smallest (and/or largest for possible duplicates).

Great! This did it thank you! I had one movie folder with all files except the movie file, one empty, and one duplicate from another resolution without the movie file. Thanks again, I can rest easy now

[CharleyVarrick 277]

Glad it could help with your issue...

It sounds like this issue was resolved but I also ran into the issue of how to find movies (tv shows is a different story) that have no imdb(or whatever source you choose) ID.  If I sort by IMDB rating and the ones at the end or beginning (depending on how you sort) will be null basically and that how I found all my movies that are not correctly identified!   

[Luke 37250]

The next release will have filters for movies without IMDb id.
