Media Scanner Resetting Content Settings after changing from x264 to x265

So I have been working on converting all my movies to x265 from x264 to save space and when I replace the files on my server Plex thinks everything is NEW again and wipes out all my custom labels, tags, collections, artwork, watched, and added date etc… I just had to go through a fix 1500+ movies and it took me hours and I know there is still stuff I’m missing. What I want to know if there is a fix for this not to happen when I do the next batch of movies?

Thanks I just tried that with a few files and I was able to get them updated without loosing my settings. I just wish I would have relized this a while back lol
