Best practice to download movies for plex
Posted: Sun May 20, 2018 5:40 pm
Hi
I have automated qbittorent to download movies via RSS feeds directly in a folder, which is a Plex collection. It works fine but sometimes Plex mismatches the movies because the titles are very common and there are already many movies with the same title. In this case the year would be very useful to identify the movie correctly and the file name contains it, but alas it isn't in parentheses as expected form Plex and therefore it is ignored.
I know this would be fine tuning, but what would be the best solution to make Plex match the movies correctly also with the year?
I was checking if it would be possible to fine tune Plex parsing logic, but I didn't find any solution.
I was also thinking to rename the files with a script when the download is completed, but I think it is a bad idea, most probably qbt would download the renamed files again.
What I don't want is to copy and rename the files and therefore double the used space on the HDD.
Is there a solution? Somebody facing the same problem has found a way to solve it?
