[Bug] Edition does not go away after removing tag from filename

General Discussions

Consider the following filename:

Mit Liebe Zum Mord 4 Das Julius Haus (2016) {imdb-tt5931726} {edition-Logo}.mkv

Now put that edition tag into the “[” “]” “ignore-braces”:

Mit Liebe Zum Mord 4 Das Julius Haus (2016) {imdb-tt5931726} [edition-Logo].mkv

Now rescan. The result is that the edition does not go away from the database.

According to this document the edition has to be put within “{” “}” curly braces:

According to various articles here is text ignored that is written within “[” “]” braces.

I have to say that I experience a lot of different problems around editions. So I tried to store them different for future use, but not in the Plex style, that has so many problems.

Corect. Since the file’s conent is not actually changing, but only its file name, its current match is maintained. And the current match says that it is an edition.
If you want to change a match, use the Unmatch action or perform the Plex Dance.

But the other way works. You can test it yourself:

1.) Take an existing file from your library and append " {edition-Test}" to its filename. Scan that library.

→ The Edition tag Test will be added to the database.

2.) Take that same file and remove " {edition-Test}" from its filename. Scan that library.

→ The Edition tag Test will not be removed from the database.

IMHO, this is a bug - at least not working the same for both variants.
