in reply to Grow Your Own Services 🌱 • • •I'm attempting to set it up, but not having a lot of luck getting it to identify the files... It's possible it's just very slow on the first pass but there's no indication it's doing anything so I'm not sure 🫤
I'm hoping to really like it!

in reply to DB Schwein • • •I have found that it can take a while to find everything. It can also get a bit confused if the file names contain more than the name of the film/program. I had to fiddle around a bit to get everything just how I wanted it. Overall though, it's very impressive.
