// Windows | |
a) Open a command prompt where the Plex Media Scanner.exe resides | |
// In my case - E:\Plex\Plex Media Server.exe | |
b) List out the libraries (keys) | |
"Plex Media Scanner.exe" --list | |
--list will show all libraries with an associated key | |
// 2: Films | |
// 1: Series | |
// 8: Tutorials | |
Now that the key is know for the specific library... | |
c) Create a list of all media assocated with the library key | |
"Plex Media Scanner.exe" --list --section 2 > films_list.txt | |
Within quotes since there are spaces withing the .exe name, | |
I --list out the contents of --section 2 (Library Name: Films with the key of 2) | |
then save the --list to a text file called films_list.txt withing the same directory | |
where I ran the command. | |
Plex Media Scanner.exe has many more options, to access a list of options, run within a terminal: | |
"Plex Media Scanner.exe" --help | |
The following command prints out a list of all films, along with their art and media paths. | |
"Plex Media Scanner.exe" --tree --section 2 > tree_list.txt | |
