Local Media Assets Ignored?

Not one response after 7 days? Really?

Well I’ve experienced this since a year ago and still no fix yet. Now every time I add new media, I keep force select local media arts again and again. Almost gave up hope on PLEX team.

**** HAPPY 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY to this THREAD! ****

I know I am a little LATE on this… cause it’s a bit over a year… but better late then never… (Looking at you Plex)

Any word on this one? It’s interesting to me that the couple of threads we have one this issue are some of the MOST viewed on the Plex Shield forum. You would think Plex would see this and think… Hummm this seems to be a pretty big issue and we better look into it and do something about it.

Anyway…

Here are my logs for today where I had to manual select like 20 albums that had cover art but wasn’t selected.

Here are my logs for today with 30 or new new albums uploaded. It’s a shame nobody is going to look at them at all.

I’m looking.

Plex should have a simple library option;

  • always use local metadata/images by default when available

moving around agents is dumb.
plex dance is dumb.
rescanning library should always use local metadata (both external and TAGS) when available and option is enabled.

this would not only make plex behave as user expects, but would save a metric f ton of metadata lookups to plex providers.

It would be really nice to be able to get this fixed… I have access to my Nvidia shield from work and have a extra shield not doing anything that I could easily test on without messing up my existing PRO.

PLEASE let me know if you guys need any help… I got 8 hours a day 5 days a week and TESTING is what I do for a living.

We’re looking. It’s an odd issue since, we use the exact same code as every other PMS and this only happens on the Shield version.

Yea, that does seem odd… However, the team should be able to go back and figure out when this broke. I am almost positive that this worked before and after a release it broke.

I am just hoping there will be a fix… maybe in the 1.15 release for the shield… there is still TIME :wink:

Moviefan.Plex,

Any update on this one? I have more logs and can set up a dedicated 16GB Nvidia Shield to tests if need be.

Thanks.

Still no update on this?

Moviefan.Plex.

Been 11 Days. Has the team been able to even look at this? Is there anything you guys need from us to troubleshoot this issue?

Just let us know.

The team is still busy getting 1.15 working on the Shield. I’ll have more info once I can test this issue on 1.15.
