Library Mapping

Main Menu

Library Mapping allows you to select the library you wish to work with when using the Find Media module and allows WebTools-NG to read the configured folder/directory path directly from your Plex Media Server device.

The local file/directory path will then be compared to the Plex Media Server database in order to locate any missing files that may exist between the local folder/directory and the PMS database.

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.

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

Click on the Select Media Library drop down menu and select the library you wish to work with. The following information will appear showing the configured PMS database location and the current location on your Workstation Server device.

Set a path dialogue

The folder path shown under PMS is the folder path held in your Plex Media Server database.
The folder path shown under Workstation is the local filesystem folder path for your Plex Library.

To change the folder path, click on the address shown under PMS or Workstation.
This will allow you to change the Workstation folder path so that it points to the correct location in your filesysytem.

This may require you to enter the UNC (\\Device Name\path\path) address for your NAS or other device into the file/folder dialogue.

The changes made to your library paths should be retained for any subsequent use, but do check that the paths are correct if you have any issues using Find Media.
