Moving to Smart Movie Collections

I have been starting to move my movies into smart collections from their older manually created collections.

I have set up the “Minimum automatic collection size” to 2 and though I know if I move them out of their existing collections, delete the empty collections, do the Plex dance, the new collections are created as expected (including having a lot of poster options) but I wanted to know if there is an easier way to get the movies into the smart collections without the Plex dance? Unfortunately, this is very time consuming and starts adding all of my old movies back into the “Recently Added” to the Home page :frowning:

After moving some movies out of their old collections and deleting the old collection I have tried to remove the tags and unchecking the lock and then re-scanning the movies section but that doesn’t appear to do anything.

Is the only way to have this work the Plex dance?

Ironically, I just discovered that if I “Refresh All Metadata” then it will add the movies to the collections without the Plex dance :slight_smile:
