Library Health
Go to Settings → Library Health as an administrator to review movie matches that need attention. The sidebar shows a count of items waiting for review.
Finding Items
Use the filters to choose what to review:
| Filter | What it shows |
|---|---|
| All needing attention | Movies with an unresolved or uncertain identity |
| No match found | Movies without a usable online match |
| Low-confidence guess | Movies with a possible match that needs checking |
| Duplicates | Separate movie records sharing the same TMDB identity |
| Local-only | Movies using local metadata without a confirmed online identity |
The Unavailable items section lists missing media separately. Missing files retain their library records and can return after a scan; see Unavailable Items below.
Reviewing a Movie
Each row shows the filename, folder, and reason it needs attention. Select Match details to expand the comparison. It stays closed until you ask to see it.
The Source file card shows the title and year found locally, runtime, languages, filename, and any IDs in the filename or NFO. Each suggested movie has its own card with its title, year, runtime, languages, IDs, and description when available. Compare these before making a choice.
Common reasons include:
- A missing year or one that disagrees with the suggested movie
- Several similarly named films
- A provider ID that is invalid, belongs to TV content, or disagrees with the filename
- Conflicting IDs in the filename and NFO file
- No close enough match from the online provider
Confirm a Correct Suggestion
If the current suggestion is correct, the row may show Confirm with its title. Check the comparison first, then confirm it. This accepts the suggested identity and clears the review item.
Find a Different Match
Choose Review match to open the comparison, then Search for another match if the suggestions are wrong. You can search for the correct movie or enter a known provider ID. Selecting a suggestion only highlights it; choose Apply selected match to change the movie’s identity and metadata. Norri does not rename the media file.
Keep Local Metadata
Where offered, Keep local title and year as a movie retains the movie entry without accepting an inappropriate online identity. Local-only items have their own filter so they can be reviewed later. They can use supported local metadata and artwork without accepting an online identity.
For a duplicate warning, select Review files to see both file paths and a link to the other movie. If the other file is no longer present, Norri says this may be an older warning. This screen does not merge or delete files.
A replacement file that clearly belongs to an existing movie is attached to that movie automatically. Normal file upgrades do not need duplicate review. See Replacing or Upgrading Media.
If an ID points to a TV show in a movie library, the suggested matches are movies. Applying one keeps the file in Movies; it does not turn the file into TV episodes. You can keep its local movie title and year where offered. To catalog episodes as TV, add them to a TV library with episode information.
The queue updates after a successful action.
TV Shows
The movie identity filters are specific to movies. For a TV show flagged for review, open its detail page and use its confirm or rematch controls. Use a series ID when identifying a show, rather than an episode ID.
Unavailable Items
When a previously scanned file is missing, Norri retains its record and marks it unavailable. If a library root itself cannot be read, the scan reports that problem and preserves existing records. Restore the drive, share, or folder before rescanning.
When the same file returns, the next scan makes it available again. You do not need to remove and re-import it. See Unavailable Files for how availability works when an item has several files.
If a file is gone for good, choose Remove from library in the unavailable list. You can also select several entries and choose Remove selected from library. Confirm the removal only when you want Norri to discard those records.
This removes library records, not media files on disk. Keeping a record preserves its saved information for when the file returns. Removing it is not a way to hide a file that still exists: a later scan may find that file again.
Improving Future Matches
Use a clear title and year where possible, and keep one folder per movie or show. Valid provider IDs can help with ambiguous titles, but check that any IDs in an NFO file agree with the folder and media type.
A TV folder without a year can still be imported. Add the first-air year when it helps distinguish two shows with the same name.
See Media Organization for naming examples and Media Matching for how Norri chooses an identity.
