I have had this issue forever. Only in my movie library, each movie I choose when browsing my library updates its metadata.
This doesn’t happen with TV shows. Not sure why this happens with movies.
This slows down browsing and choosing movies.
Server Version#: 1.25.3.5409
Player Version#: Plex Web 4.72.1
Mind sharing your server logs for somebody to take a look?
I don’t remember ever seeing what you describe.
Thank you. Attached are my logs. I am not sure what logs to upload so I did the whole zip.
You can see in this attached video what files I clicked and the result (This happens with all movies)
When you click the context menu of those movies… does that offer you an option to Match the item or an option to Fix Match?
PS: You might want to look into the native screenshot app of macOS… this will also create videos of section of your screen without the pain of holding your phone stable.
You can shorten the time to some split-second, if you store each movie in its own subfolder.
Good point.
Currently it appears all your movie files are all organized next to each other inside your Movies folder. When you open the details page, Plex usually verifies the file is unchanged and looks for changes to related local media assets (e.g. local posters, subtitles). With all your files in a single folder, this leaves Plex to check more than 12k files… which is the little moment of refreshing your movie you see in the app.
If you give each movie its own folder (e.g. /Volumes/Videos/Movies/Ray Donovan - The Movie (2022)/Ray Donovan - The Movie (2022).m4v), Plex only needs to check the content of that folder (/Volumes/Videos/Movies/Ray Donovan - The Movie (2022)/) – as per Otto’s response, that’ll cut the “refresh” period significantly you might not even notice it.
Nice nice. Thank you both. Let me try this with a few movies and see how different things act.
Thank you guys, that was the problem!! Everything I put in folders works great. Now the task of moving 12 K movies. Phew!! Thanks again!!
