# TubeSync
|
|
|
|
## Advanced usage guide - creating missing metadata
|
|
|
|
This is a new feature in v0.9 of TubeSync and later. It allows you to create or
|
|
re-create missing metadata in your TubeSync download directories for missing `nfo`
|
|
files and thumbnails.
|
|
|
|
If you add a source with "write NFO files" or "copy thumbnails" disabled, download
|
|
some media and then update the source to write NFO files or copy thumbnails then
|
|
TubeSync will not automatically retroactively attempt to copy or create your missing
|
|
metadata files. You can use a special one-off command to manually write missing
|
|
metadata files to the correct locations.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
You have added a source without metadata writing enabled, downloaded some media, then
|
|
updated the source to enable metadata writing.
|
|
|
|
## Steps
|
|
|
|
### 1. Run the batch metadata sync command
|
|
|
|
Execute the following Django command:
|
|
|
|
`./manage.py sync-missing-metadata`
|
|
|
|
When deploying TubeSync inside a container, you can execute this with:
|
|
|
|
`docker exec -ti tubesync python3 /app/manage.py sync-missing-metadata`
|
|
|
|
This command will log what its doing to the terminal when you run it.
|
|
|
|
Internally, this command loops over all your sources which have been saved with
|
|
"write NFO files" or "copy thumbnails" enabled. Then, loops over all media saved to
|
|
that source and confirms that the appropriate thumbnail files have been copied over and
|
|
the NFO file has been written if enabled.
