Movie title displays file name even though everything else is matched properly - 2021

Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files
1

Server Version#: 1.26.0.1531-92029e9e
Player Version#: NA

Hi Everyone,

I have seen this topic come up before. I am not sure when it started however on Movies only all my recent additions appear to keep the filename. However, the synopsis, posters and everything are correct. This is found when scanning.

I have checked several places like going to edit the Library and making sure it does not use the local Meta Data. I have set up the latest Agent. However when I refresh Meta Data on the Movie Library I do not get updated titles.

Can anyone help me?

If your movie library already uses the new “Plex Movie” agent, do this instead:
Edit your movie library
go to the ‘Advanced’ tab
clear the check mark out of “Prefer local metadata”

Afterwards, Refresh Metadata of the affected items.

Morning OttoKerner,

I thought I had done this. Many Thanks. I had only unticked “Use local assets” not "unticked “Prefer local metadata”

Many Thanks

You can leave “Use local assets” activated, if you use local posters or extras/bonus content.
