Plex tinymediamanager5/10/2023 ![]() Learn all of the noob mistakes on a small qty of files - unlike me, I like to learn the really hard way. #3 Play with TMM & Kodi for a week before doing any real work on it. ![]() #2 Read allot about TMM & Kodi, you are going to make allot of mistakes but, this software does not alter your files in any way so it is safe. #1 After installing LibreELEC, update the RPi's firmware, this is mandatory. ![]() The RPi4B plays most every codec out there along with playing 1080p x265 without breaking a sweat (1080p x265 is very hard on the RPi3 though, so make sure to get the RPi4B). It is not a USB device but a computer the size of a deck of cards. Note, you'll need a free HDMI slot to use Kodi. Personally, I stay away from all addons except search. Check out youtube videos to get a look at the product. I like to use LibreELEC for the OS which includes Kodi. Make sure to set prefs to see actor's pictures in both TMM & Kodi. Once done, you'll then scan your collection with KODI, setting the scan to local files aka offline mode, as a scan pref. It will auto store pics & metadata on your HDD in each folder. To see beautiful cover art along with show synopsis while 100% offline in Kodi, use TMM (tinymediamanager) against your collection. The result is better than Netflix/Amazon, without the buffering and thousands of bs shows. You will have to make sure your files are appropriately named, which can cause massive pain but in the end, is worth it. There are others out there but these 2 items perform well. Look into a Flirc case and a Flirc remote receiver for your remote control. The RPi4B cost about 40 USD and consumes very little electricity. I use the Raspberry Pi, which is certified fast & excellent. 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.
