I appreciate that you’re telling me that (almost) every post and bug report on the forums gets read, and there’s not necessarily enough bandwidth to respond to them all, and I appreciate that the thread we find ourselves in is fundamentally about product direction rather than bugs, but just from my perspective, it’s difficult for me to feel like anyone is reading the posts I make, which is why I stopped making them and started just agreeing with the large numbers of people complaining that their voice wasn’t heard:

Release date for The Color of Pomegranates (1969) badly wrong - #2 (I believe this one was eventually fixed when I created a separate thread to report 25 different obvious release date errors)

I think one of the reasons this is annoying is because the metadata stuff does not require code changes, localization changes, UI/UX changes, and I’m actually willing to fix all of these myself but the choice to do the Plex/Gracenote metadata actively prevents me from fixing the issues using the user-editable metadata sources.
