So I import a film into Plex server and it downloads the metadata and poster, etc. most of the time it appears in the filmography for the actor and director, etc. but occasionally the imported film isn’t in the filmography for those people. It is like Plex import is drawing from a different database source than Filmography. What’s up with that? Even if I add the TXDB or IMDB number to the file name it still doesn’t appear in the filmography. This is a rare occurrence but it happens from time to time. What’s up?
Filmography is indeed from a different source…. Plex isn’t storing all that details on your local server.
Instead, it’ll show the online information and the client app will only lookup the items which are also in your server(s) to highlight them.
If that lookup times out, the local item might not be highlighted.
Aaaaah.
I was always curious why I add content and the filmography marks that content as available - but mostly not.
