Media Library Health Check

[markus101]

This required smarter health checks and the ability to dismiss/have them dismiss based on action, but would be a big enhancement into knowing how well your files are named.

This health check would run after files on disk are scanned and would report the status of episodes to make sure they are named correctly, offer the ability to rename the files or to view the list (the list should probably be computed on the fly to avoid stale data at the cost of processing time). A possible action could be to update them automatically, but that could be dangerous with user generated data.

Library health shouldn't be just naming, but also permissions.

There's one feature needed before library health makes sense though and that is the ability to rename the series folder. Especially helpful if the series name changes.
Right now I'm left with about 10% of my library in series folder names that don't match the series name.

We should also indicate that there are extra files on disk that don't match episodes (maybe they were renumbered, Mythbusters I'm looking at you), making #286 related.

In addition to naming this could also take into account missing episodes where later episodes have been grabbed, for example you have episodes 1 and 2, episodes 3 and 4 have aired, but episode 4 is imported while episode 3 isn't.

Can we add a health check for files that are missing analysis information from being moved around to this proposal? I store my media on a cloud drive so I have the option to analyze on refresh unchecked to reduce API hits. I know I have files that are missing it though so with a health check telling me which series/episodes are missing it, I could enable the option, refresh the series that are missing the info manually, and then disable the option again.

This has been open for awhile now, is there a rough timeline on this? Don't need anything definitive, appreciate all the work you do. More curious if it's still a proposal/backburner thing or if there's work actively being done on this?

Just bumping this. Is there any plan to incorporate some sort of health check like this in the future?

It's sort of a band-aid, but I threw together a script that will search a library for files with "TBA" in their title, and then use some API calls to refresh the metadata for that series and issue a rename command for that series.

will this ever be considered?
