All recently added TV has release date of Feb 7, 2036

All recently added episodes of TV have a release date of February 7th, 2036. Not sure why. This is with server 1.26.2.5797 on Win7x64, using the new scanner/agent. Unclear why, between this and other issues I will be turning on logging on again. Next time I add an ep, I’ll make sure to check them and post here.

This bug was recently identified. It’s caused due to the “prefer local metadata” option for the library. There is a fix coming. For now, you can turn that setting off and refresh the affected items.

Thanks a lot!

Has the fix for this been released yet?

In 1.27.0.5897

That says Beta, though. I meant actually released.

EDIT: I’m dumb, it’s released. Just installed it. Thanks!

I have a number of episodes that are still showing episode date as Feb. 7, 2036 even after the latest server update. I have renewed the metadata but doesn’t seem to change some of the episodes. Is there another solution or do I need to manually override the information.

@dr_njca do you have prefer local metadata enabled?

I turned it off as that was suggested to fix the problem.

I sometimes see this too, particularly in my DVR library. Maybe try in matching and rematching the shows or movies in question? In the meantime, hopefully someone over there is paying attention to these continued edge cases.

Try plex dance on the affected shows.

Thanks. I figured it out. The files werent labeled properly so should be able to fix it.
