Server Version#: 1.18.4.2171 I’ve noticed that Personal Media Files using the “Video/Other” library section have a bug where the metadata fresh collects and displays the correct metadata and date, however during Plex’s scheduled tasks when it completes the media analysis periodically as scheduled…

Can you show me this please (an example) so I know what to recreate ?

Sure, here’s an example of one of my home videos, but it happens with all personal/home videos.

THank you for pinging me on this. In yesterday’s staff meeting, we learned that Engineering found where this is happening. It was a timing error when it updates the analysis. It has to perform two update steps. One sequence preserves dates and the other does not . Both steps are required. We c…

Ahh that’s perfect news! Thanks so much for following this through. I don’t install the Plex pass beta releases, I always just update with production releases on my two servers as I had an issue in the past when I installed a beta. Currently running 1.18.6.2368. Will Plex engineers add this fix i…
