I think they’ve all been fixed. Very impressive. Even the cases where I thought the “new” version was better are getting the “better” Title.
I see some others that I hadn’t noticed before that also improved. I’ll skim through later to see if anything got worse.
The only exceptions I see are these two. They’re getting the right info, just bad titles.
The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) -> Spiderman
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014) -> Spiderman
I notice that “The Bourne Collection” (how it appears on TMDB) comes in as “The Bourne”. “The Twilight” too. Is that just a data sync issue?
I notice that “Spenser Confidential” is included in the “Spenser Collection”. That’s just garbage at TMDB and should be reported to them, right?
I notice a couple cases where it claims I have more movies in the collection than I do. I only have two movies in these collections. That’s true on different browsers and even on the TV, so it’s not a browser sync issue.
Library view:
In the collection view:
I’ve emptied trash, scanned, analyzed, cleaned bundles. I even restarted PMS. Still shows as 3 items in the Library and Collections views, but only 2 items when you view the collection. I really only have two items in these collections.
OK, same fix in both cases: I removed the tag from both movies and the number went down to 0. I refreshed metadata, and the Collection now shows 2 as expected.
Call me lucky… so far I actually found the exact same number of movies in a collection as it was promoted 
Super minor finding… I noticed that despite collections being created automatically and downloading a poster from The Movie Database, Plex will still initially create a tiled poster (collage of movie posters contained in the collection). Not sure if that’s the intended behavior.
I’ve only noticed the count discrepancy on those two collections! I kinda wonder if two different movies were refreshing simultaneously, they raced to increment ++ the total, and they tied.
On the other hand, I’m not having that issue. All of the automatically created collections got posters from TMDB, for better or worse. 
I see the tiled/collage poster as an option, but it hasn’t been assigned to any of these collections.
My post was phrased badly. That’s what I meant to say.
Basically asking the question why Plex creates the “tile poster” in the first place if it’s in the process of downloading a poster anyway 
Ah! I took “initially” to mean that it was being assigned or was temporarily visible.
A lot of the collection posters on TMDB are really great. The bad examples sure stand out. 
I suspect this is to ensure we have fallback artwork. Similar to how movies will also have an extracted frame as fallback artwork.
It’s just there as an option, some people may prefer this as it’s the way the current ones work. It’s also not ever “created” until you actually view at, at which point it’s only ever stored in the image cache.
Any chance that we will get new meta data types added as a part of this new scanner and agent?
It would be great to have the aspect ratio of the movie, and not the aspect ratio of the file.
Many 2.35/2.4 aspect ratio movies are not correctly reported. Home theater enthusiasts with projectors could use that information to automate their projector setup - myself included.
It would also be nice to have the option to include things like writers, studio, tag lines, etc. Having that meta data brought in now, could give options for future updates to the movie info screens.
That sounds like a file and/or media analysis issue, rather than a scanner & metadata issue. (Or I’m confused, which happens often enough.)
Aspect ratio is per media file, not per library item, right? I don’t think I have the same complaint.
What does it look like when the AR is incorrect? How do you fix it when it does happen?
I think Writers, Studio, and Tagline are all included today?
They are… and many more (see General + Tags tabs in the Edit dialog).
You are of course right. I assumed that since they were not exposed on the Roku and appletv clients that the data was not being grabbed. Sorry for that mistake.
8 posts were split to a new topic: Accounting for original movie aspect ratio
Very good job with 1.19.6!. Only 8 unmatched movies in the new test library 
show agora reconhece tanto as capas como os titulo se sinopse em português do brasil
show now recognizes both the covers and the titles if synopsis in Portuguese of brazil
mine recognized, spiderman had not recognized, but then I went to see was written spider man, just corrected for Spider-Man and recognized when updating
maybe a little of topic, but i have seen that with the preview version some 4k movies (Planet Erde II Codec HEVC ) must be transcoded while this is not needed with the official version 1.19.5.3035. Is this a known issue?
May I ask… Will that upgrade path include the migration of VP thumbs?
With 170TB of media its more than a little scary thinking about having to regenerate them.
EDIT. Never Mind. I actually just discovered that It’s already importing existing bifs.
