LINUX
Make yourself the ROOT user
sudo -i
Verify the location of the "Plex Media Scanner" location. Depends on the flavor of linux, but usually in in:
/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/
but use this command if you cant find it find / -name "Plex Media Scanner"
Update the path to allow the scanner access to related files.
export PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR="/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support"
Now we are ready to run the scanner. This command will give you the libraries you can export:
/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex\ Media\ Scanner --list
This will list of your Libraries, each assigned with a number. something like this as an example:
1: Movies
2: TV Shows
3: Music
4: Videos
This example is "Movies", so a "1" will be used for the "--section" argument in the next line
/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex\ Media\ Scanner --list --section 1
You'll get a list of movies and folders it has and you can copy /paste it.
If you want to output it to a file you can use a command like this:
/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex\ Media\ Scanner --list -section 1 > plexlist.txt
WINDOWS
You can also do this from windows if you do the following:
- Goto the default plex directory from a command prompt
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Plex\Plex Media Server" - Enter in the command"
"Plex Media Scanner.exe" --list - You'll get a list of available libraries.
"Plex Media Scanner.exe" --list -section 1 - You can print it to the cmd interface, or you can print it to a directory
"Plex Media Scanner.exe" --list -section 1 > plexlist.txt
