I’m on my way off plex and moving to an alternate however as the person who started this thread (previous forum account deleted) I will respond this once in the vain hope that plex might listen for those who remain …
As just one example, look at Silent Witness Series 26 … https://watch.plex.tv/en-GB/show/silent-witness/season/26?context.page=show&context.groupID=seasons&context.groupIndex=2&context.itemIndex=25
This is a mixture of IMDB titles and TMDB titles, some mixing across episodes parts “The Penitent - Part 1” and “The Penitent (2)”. Oh, and its not just season, the whole show is a mess like this.
The consolidated metadata approach & ranking of that data which plex decided to move to on paper appeared a good idea but its a mess and not fit for purpose. ANYONE who actually cares about metadata knows this, especially those of us who contribute to the online sources. There are AI written summaries all over the place, pulled from IMDB which its a dumpster for bad data and then there are the major limitations like “DAHMER” which are well documented on the forum and nothing done to fix it.
