Hey Guys -
I recently switched from Media Center Master to TinyMediaManager v3. MCM just had too many bugs! I've posted previously about features I'd like to see in TMMv3, but am posting now due to a new issue I wanted to get suggestions for. Currently, my movies are in a individual folders named below - all located on a 46.5tb disk pool:
- Movies
- Movies - Collections
- Movies - New
- Movies - 3D
- Movies - Childrens
- Movies - Childrens Collections
The reason I have them in separate folders is...
- ... so that I could refresh/update "Movies - New" folder only when metadata tagging & renaming without having to refresh all 6,000+ titles
(I wrote a script that automatically moves titles from "Movies - New" into "Movies" once it's 5 days old)
- ... wanting to have separate Plex libraries (Although the first 3 above are in a single plex library named "Movies" and last 2 are both in a single library named "Children's Movies")
- ... so that duplicate detection didn't mark 3D ones as I have many titles where I own both 3D & not 3D
- ... MCM configured collection by creating a folder per collection where it moved each title's folder plus stored collection metadata
The reason I'm posting is to get suggestions for if I should change any of the above organization since I'm now using TMMv3. One issue I've found is that if TMM edits a title within "Movies - Collections", it moves it from it's collection folder into the root of "Movies - Collections". Due to this, I've considered moving them all from their collection folders into the general "Movies" or "Movies - Children's" folders.
So... does anyone have suggestions for how to address the issues above and/or best organize and manage everything within TMM v3? Thanks!!
