Rule #1 when inputting custom meta data:
If you have media which are not getting a ‘match’ via the Plex online metadata sources
(for instance because what you have are not movies or regular tv shows but your own custom videos)
you need to make sure that these items are not ‘unmatched’ but are classified as ‘Personal Media’.
Otherwise Plex will attempt to match them to stuff in its online metadata sources.
The best approach would be to create a separate library and set the default metadata source for this library to ‘Personal Media’.
But if you have custom media together with normal movies in one library, you want to perform a ‘Fix Match’ and pick the ‘Personal Media’ agent while doing so.
