Find Media

Main Menu

The Find Media module allows you to scan your local folders and compare the list of local files to the list of files held in your Plex Media Server database in order to locate files that may exist locally, but have not been found or included in your Plex Media Server library.

Note: In order to use this module, you must be local to your Plex Media Server media storage device.

Note: The Find Media module does NOT list all files in a library, it will only list missing files. To list all files in a library, use ExportTools instead.

Before entering this module, make sure you have selected a server to work with. Most operations will fail if you have not selected a server.

Please check the Find Media Settings page and the Global Settings > Library Mapping page to make sure all settings are correct.
