Media Path not Updated when File Upgraded / Renamed in Plex
See original GitHub issueI’m using a Plex Library, which is being fed movies from Sonarr.
Occasionally, a movie file might be upgraded, so for example, a movie may have been located at
/data/Movies/<Movie Name>/<Movie Name>.480p.mkv
when first scanned into ErsatzTV. Then in the background, a higher quality version is downloaded, such that the movie is now at
/data/Movies/<Movie Name>/<Movie Name>.1080p.mkv
.
As a result, I see errors when tuning to the channel of the form: “Playout item does not exist on disk” with the old file path.
So, two questions/issues:
- It seems all of the other metadata (tags, genres, posters, etc.) is getting updated from a library scan, but the path is not.
- I can’t see to find any where in the GUI that displays where ErsatzTV thinks the media sits on disk; i.e., if I navigate to “http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8409/media/movies/1”, it would be nice to have the path to that item shown somewhere on the page, unless I’m just not seeing it.

I can confirm that several items that weren’t working before are now working.
I can test as soon as it makes it into the develop/nvidia docker image.
