Working In Library Settings

If Scryer isn’t finding movie files you know exist on disk, check that the root path here matches exactly what Scryer can see — in Docker, container paths often differ from the host paths where files actually live.

If you’re adding a new storage location for movies, add the root path here before adding any titles that should live there. Scryer can only scan paths it knows about.

• Add, edit, or remove movie library roots.
• Set default root behavior for new movie titles.
• Review scan-related settings for the movie facet.
• Correct a path after a host or container mount changes.
• Run or schedule a library scan after moving files into a managed root.
• Split movie libraries when storage layout or access policy should differ by root.
