Multilingual? Filmography titles identical to the ones in the library (even if changed)?

Yes like this.
but i don’t see it!!!


From the linked support article:

…,there are some cases where it will not show up and will route you to a personal server library with a filtered list of content. Below is a list of reasons it would go to a filtered grid:

  • The Include adult content advanced library preference is enabled for the library.
  • The library uses a legacy metadata agent (not our current, recommended agent). You can fix that by upgrading the library to use the newer metadata agent, doing a library scan, and then refreshing all items in the library.
  • Items in a Plex Media Server library have not been refreshed to pick up the new actor/writer/director information. Assuming the library has already been upgraded (see above), you need to refresh the metadata for the items in the library.

Just a quick note that this particular setting was renamed to “Allow matching to explicit content” in a recent server release (1.41.6.9606, I think).

Since it’s a public release now, the docs should probably be updated.

??? how to change for a newer metadata agent

  1. To avoid unwanted hiccups…
    • Trigger ︙ > Scan Library Files and
    • ︙ > Manage Library > Refresh Library metadata to ensure there’s no loose ends — wait for each job to finish before proceeding!
  2. Click ︙> Manage Library > Edit… to edit the library in question
  3. Open the Advanced tab
  4. Set Agent to Plex Movie or Plex TV Series
  5. Save the changes

If your library isn’t refreshing its metadata after updating the preferences, it might help to trigger that manually

thanks !!!
