I’m in the process of moving the metadata over to my Linux build. It all worked fine except I’m noticing it’s going through a lot of the TV shows I own saying " detecting intro" This is for the skip intro feature I know. But it takes a long time. Is there any way to copy this over as well? Thanks …

Looks like the scans have completed and all done correctly. good stuff One little issue i’m having is with two TV shows. certain episodes in the show have the bin icon and have the old path to the media in the info. i have confirmed they’re there and accessible in the new path, it seems quite rand…

Have you done an optimise on the db after these scans and updates? If you have then unless someone else has an idea I’d suggest as it’s just two shows doing a plex dance on them.

Maybe one more scan after the optimise is done for good measure :grinning:

Have done both of those and unfortunately still no available, I can confirm it’s literally 4 episodes, they all still have the old path which is strange … Is there no way to add the oath manually to them?

So to do the Plex dance am I understanding that I needed to remove just the 4 episodes

You could try that but I’ve always done it with the entire show when I’ve needed to do the dance.

These issues could also be caused by different “episode ordering” on TheMovieDB.org vs. TheTVDB.com Make sure to look them up on both websites and compare them. Then edit each of the shows and set the “Episode ordering” on the Advanced tab according to which suits your files better.

Tried that unfortunately still no. I just can’t workout why it still shows the old path in these 4 episodes

Not that I know off. Sometimes the references in the plex db can get fixed up which a plex dance usually sorts out. So I’d suggest that next unless someone else has an idea.
