I just updated Plex and switched to the new agent. Did a force Refresh metadata and having a few issues. Can no longer edit Collection Tags “Your changes could not be saved.” Doesn’t matter if the field is locked or not. Movies that are part of collections, is not being added to the collection. Ca…

Thanks, I can see what appears to be some database corruption. To get to the bottom of this a copy of your database would be the easiest for me to diagnose. If you don’t mind grabbing that and sending it to me via a DM (click my username and hit Message). To grab the database just head over to Sett…

I am having this exact same problem. Could you please let me know what the solution is?

Here is what he sent me AS ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR DATABASE FIRST JUST IN CASE! — Thanks. That helped me figure out the problem. Somehow some title fields on collections in your database got set to NULL which is a bit strange as that shouldn’t ever happen. The fix for this should be just setting t…

folks should be very careful about randomly putting that command, because it is likely that different people will have different section id’s (I assume metadata_type would stay the same, but that could be different too).

I’m having the same issue. I tried to repair the database by using the steps from the forum, but it didn’t work. It could be my command line skills or lack of. You mention about other tools that could be used, can you elaborate? I’d like to try to repair myself. I’m concerned that the solution…

I’m also having the same problem. I’m unable to delete unwanted collections or add/remove collection tags from individual movies. I’ve also noticed that when I try to remove the collection tag from a movie, the option to refresh metadata for that movie is grayed out. The SQL fix listed above does…

Plex Media Server Logs_2020-07-29_02-50-18.zip (7.0 MB) This problem has been non-stop since I installed the new update. The first time, I wound up frustratingly downgrading and having to launch from an old database. Then I updated again and the same thing happened. Then I created a brand new Libra…

Open any collection. Click edit. Click advanced. Change collection mode. Doesn’t matter to what. Save changes. After you do this you can change it back. I have no clue why or how, but this completely fixed everything instantly. Everything except synopsis in created collections still won’t stick. Aut…

Thanks so much for the updated commentary. Glad I’m not alone here and that fellow users are trying to help. I did try to change the collection mode, then change it back, but unfortunately it didn’t help. I’m hoping this gets the attention of the Plex team. Thanks again.

To add little more information from my view, I have 12 movie related libraries. Only one of the libraries is not allowing me to add new movies to a collection or delete that collection. All 12 libraries don’t allow me to add summary comments about that collection. And, if there are comments origi…

One other issue I noticed recently which has been annoying. When I refresh the Metadata on any particular movie I can tell Plex is going out and retrieving the new information but when it stops there is no change. However, when I hit reload on my browser (Google Chrome), it puts me back into the u…
