Hi,
I’m trying to get Plex Media Server to work with my iTunes library on a Mac. The library is in the location: /Users/me/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music.
If I create a new library and select the iTunes scanner, it finds nothing - the log reports “Scanning Music using en(Plex iTunes Scanner) with 0 current media items in the database.”
If I use the default scanner and check the “import from iTunes” box, it imports everything almost faultlessly, as far as I can see. Great.
However, when I add a new album to my iTunes library, PMS messes up the import: it typically tags one or two tracks correctly and the rest get “unknown artist” and “unknown album”.
And if I try to sort that out by editing the library to use the iTunes scanner, PMS then deletes everything in the library.
So at the moment, it seems that I can only get Plex to use my iTunes library if I delete the entire Plex library and recreate it from scratch, whenever I add music to iTunes.
What am I missing?
