I have a handful of unsupported guid. But cannot figure out why.

Unsupported guid for 'Battlestar Galactica' in the Tautulli database [Guid: local://94409]. Skipping...

I am getting this when it gets to communicating with Plex. I have 4 Movie Libraries and it appears to fail on the first one. I am trying to merge libraries in Tautulli after I had a failure on Plex and had to reinstall. Any help would be appreciated. thanks

Retrieving all library items from the Plex server...
Scanning library: Concerts
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "update_all_metadata.py", line 214, in

AttributeError: 'Movie' object has no attribute 'guids'

Worked like a charm, thanks for the script!

I had removed some media in-between shutting down my old Plex server and spinning up a new one. So when I went to merge the libraries with this script it would hang. So I added a print command to see what it was hanging on so I could manually fix it in Tautulli.
