How do I get Plex to add Movie Trailers to Movies already in my collection?

Hi Guys,

So I have had Plex setup for a few weeks now and decided in the last few days to ugrade to PlexPass so I can use all the additional features (trailers being one of them).

I have noticed that when I add new movies to Plex, it adds the trailers (as expected). However, for the movies that were already in Plex, before I upgraded to PlexPass, they do not have trailers.

How do I update Plex to apply trailers to all movies in my collection, now that I have PlexPass?

Many Thanks,
Stephen

You need to do a force refresh of your movies library. the force refresh will re-download the metadata for your movies plus any new metadata (including trailers) that weren’t there before.

You can do this via the refresh button within the library.

Note: If you have a large library, it will take a while for this action to finish.
