BUG: After PMS update & Metadata refresh, Dirty Harry showing wrong year?

Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files
1

Server Version#: 1.20.1.3252

I just updated to the new public release of plex, updated to the new indexer, then ran a metadata refresh. While fixing collections I noticed Dirty Harry (1971) was showing up as 2012-08-31.

I tried searching via Fix Match and it shows the right Dirty Harry title / info, but shows the year as 2012 in the search results, so it’s either a parsing error, or a source error from whatever DB Plex uses. When performing the same search using the Plex Movie (Legacy), it find the correct year. So I’m inclined to say it’s something with the shiny new Plex Movie parser.

I checked themoviedb.org, imdb.com, and thetvdb.com and all have the correct 1971 date. I can’t even find anything related to 2012 in the movie info so I don’t know where it’s pulling that from.

I dug through the logs and found the location of the XML file, and both the and <originally_available_at> contain the wrong info (though I’m assuming Plex is generating the XML, not downloading it).

Please download your logs (settings - server - troubleshooting - download logs)

Attach that ZIP
and also show me the file name & structure exactly as you have it?

Also please check the media info for anything possibly embedded in the file itself

PS: I’ve replicated it. I’m asking now

Addendum:

I’ve checked with the team and they confirmed the data coming from TMDB is incorrect

    "productionStatus": [
        {
            "date": "2012-08-31", 
            "status": "released"
        }
    ],

They’re submitting the change/correction on their end to ship upstream.

Okay, sounds like you found the issue and don’t need me to upload any logs?

No, I don’t . Thanks for raising the problem.

We looked at their data to us.
Each region’s release date is 1971 / 1972 but the production release date is wrong. (likely when they loaded it into the database). It’ll get fixed upstream and eventually fix itself for you when metadata refreshes.

Just a heads up, I’ve tried refreshing the metadata a few times since last posting and it’s still reporting ‘2012-08-31’… :frowning: I’ve emptied trash, clean bundles, etc…

The search results from ‘fix match’ also show it as 2012 still.

Looks like it is finally updated correctly. This issue can be closed! :slight_smile: :+1:
