Conserve Intros when change directory

General Discussions Plex Features
12

So to recap.

  1. Episodes 4 and 5 where swapped.
  2. You did a ‘fast fingers’ renaming.
  3. Waited for PMS to update after analysis
  4. Checked credit and intro detection – noticed it was off ( As expected )
  5. Danced the files
  6. PMS rescanned as new and got it right.

This behavior isn’t a bug.

  1. I suspect your media was ‘acquired’ and not “DVD / BluRay ripped perfectly” at equal bit rates.

  2. The length of intros (number of bytes required) will be different.

  3. PMS needed the full “Dance” to reset and start over.

To me, that’s a nice clean way of resolving – UNLESS you feel PMS should have detected the rename and re-run intro/credit detection?

(This thread is about conserving but a “Plex Dance” destroys that)
