I have a movie I recorded from my DVR. Plex has it flagged as a partial recording, but it isn’t a partial recording. I can see in the XML data the flags used - mediaGrabPartialRecording="1" mediaGrabPartialRecordingReason="The recording was cancelled"
I want to edit the XML file to remove those two entries so it doesn’t show as a partial recording in the Plex player or PMS. I found the info.xml file in the appdata folder for the movie, but it’s just the movie info, none of the recording details.
It’s probably going to be a challenge tracking down the actual XML file in which the information is stored. It may be easier for you to just Plex Dance the movie so that Plex Media Server will just recreate the metadata.
That info is actually stored in the database. The XML is a representation of the database. Changing the XML would only be temporary until it gets regenerated from the DB at some point in the future.
The suggestion above to Plex Dance the file would be the easiest option.
