Quick question about plexupdatenew.cron

[ghost]

This seems to get some of the stuff, but for TV shows especially I will notice that it will not update it, when a new episode has been added. Am I missing something? My gut is telling me this is because its adding to the second folder in there, (aka the season folder) so the TV Show folder doesn't get modified. Is there a way to correct this?

-mindepth = 2 on the script. So it should look for folders underneath your show root /mnt/cloud/series/x/season x. Have a look here and here.

If you were running the most recent version https://github.com/ajkis/scripts/commit/4eaf975aa500021b7154158602fb037505d00093 there was an issue with a parameter. See #21

[ghost]

it was already 2. hmm gonna try 3

[hjone72]

@SuperGaco Using the default variables that are set in the script: TVLIBRARY="/mnt/cloud/series/"

A mindepth of 2 means that find will only return folders that are 2 levels deeper... for example; /mnt/cloud/series/Breaking Bad/Season 1 The folder breaking bad is 1 level deep. season 1 is 2 levels deep.

Could you please post the output of the following command. Please adjust it to your paths: find /mnt/cloud/series/ -mindepth 2 -type d -cmin -60 -print this should return all folders that are two levels deep and newer than 60 minutes.

OK so it is finding the proper folders, but when I run the script the scanner doesn't work.

[ghost]

but then again the script is using cnewer not cmin

[hjone72]

@SuperGaco is it outputting anything?

[ghost]

when i run the script? 25.04.2017 18:40:30 PLEX SCAN FOLDERS MODIFIED AFTER: Tue Apr 25 18:32:27 EDT 20 17 25.04.2017 18:41:03 Movies scanned in 33 seconds

Scaning TV at: /Server/TV Shows 25.04.2017 18:42:53 Series scanned in 110 seconds 25.04.2017 18:42:53 Scan completed in 143 seconds

[ghost]

when i ran the command you gave me: find "/Server/TV Shows" -mindepth 2 -type d -cmin -60 /Server/TV Shows/Frasier/Season 9

[hjone72]

@SuperGaco the command I gave you was to just give you an example of what was happening.

[ghost]

Should I remove the lastrunfile stuff? It seems its whats borking it up

[hjone72]

@SuperGaco I suspect that there isn't actually anything for the scanner to scan that is newer than Tue Apr 25 18:32:27 EDT 20 17.

[ghost]

there is, I'm testing it. I added it to test

[hjone72]

No, I wouldn't remove it, it is a really neat way to track your changes while reducing the amount of scanning. It will work GREAT going forward. Give me 5 minutes I'll make a little script that will catch you up.

[ghost]

Thank you

[hjone72]

@SuperGaco could you post your /home/plex/logs/plexrefreshnew.cron.log please?

[ghost]

for the record this is what I"m using for the TV show stuff, since it was giving me an error before find "$TVLIBRARY" -mindepth 2 -type d -cnewer $LASTRUNFILE -exec \

I only put the log in today since it was working perfectly beforehand

[hjone72]

@SuperGaco try this: https://github.com/hjone72/plexScripts/commit/5f0e6664b9e8fbc8914b23d5b502a7cbc7355f4e

Please delete "/home/plex/.cache/lastrunfile" before running

Just a quick explanation: This will check for the LASTRUNFILE, if it doesn't exist it will look for files newer than 60 minutes old. At the end of the script it will create the LASTRUNFILE and start using the new code. In essence this will use the old method once then start using the newer method. Running it the first time will bring in all the things you might not have already scanned, the second time will probably return nothing.

[ghost]

Yeah it seems to be working now, its adding a bunch of stuff I put in there for testing. Will this continue to work in the future? As in I can leave the script as is, and it will scan in my media?

[hjone72]

It should continue to work. The changes I made should only be used the once, if you run the script again it will scan nothing. Change a file now then run the script again, it should run on just that one file.

[ghost]

So I should change the script back again to what it was before? Or is it fine how it is?

[hjone72]

It can stay permanently like that... but test that it is working as expected.

[ghost]

Yeah planning on it. Thank so much for you help and patience.
