It would probably be better if the Plex team eliminates using the Album tag for Collections, but if that is not possible, and if I can’t eliminate local collections even after the file as been uploaded to Google, I can always reinstall the VPS from scratch when the time comes.
I have to disagree with this. I love the idea of using the Album tag to populate Collections. Many of us like to have all of our tags embedded into the files so that they don’t have to be edited in Plex. One of the big pluses of having embedded tags is that if you ever need to setup a new server, or wipe your current one, all of the information is already there and you don’t have to edit each entry manually.
Well, the real bug lies in the fact that when you edit the file to remove the collection tag, Plex does not follow suit even after you refresh and re-analyze the file. When you remove the local tag, Plex should not insist on re-adding it no matter what you do. The only solution is the “Plex dance” procedure - which is not a solution at all as I am concerned.
