How can i find "missing movies" ?

[thibbb 1]

Hi everyone,

 

Running Emby 4.9.5.0 on a debian 12.14 - kernel 6.1.0-44-amd64

 

A few days ago, i added a 2 movies to my collection

- la momie

- le réveil de la momie

And refreshed the associated library to see that one of the 2 movies was "not showing up" from the web interface

Reason (that i understood thanks to its deletion) is because

- "La momie" was identified as "Le réveil de la momie"

- "Le réveil de la momie" was correctly identified

1- To fix this, i removed both movies

Then moved back "la momie" to have it wrongly identified, but as it now shows up to the web interface, i can identify it to the correct movie

Then moved back "Le réveil de la momie" that is identified to the correct movie

-> Is there an easier way to proceed ?

 

2- Assuming it was not the only case, i compared web interface and local folder.

There's a difference of 4 movies (more) in my local folder

-> Is there any way to identify which movie is missing ?

 

Thank you!

You need to name them properly in the first place (adding ID tags helps a lot).

Hi, using table view and enabling the file name to be displayed can also help with this.

Thanks for the updates.

 

@Luke the table view does not help, as files are missing from the web interface

I don't see the missing ones

Hi, what exactly makes you think the table view does not help? What exactly did you try to do with it?
