First thing, I’ve been using the term “update” when I should be using “refresh.” But aside from that, there is no getting around the fact that the Plex Dance is a workaround for a feature in Plex that does not work as it was intended.The Refresh command is intended to (quoting from the online Help) “…l cause new metadata to be fetched even for items that are already matched.”
It is easily demonstrable that this does not happen when the Refresh command is kicked off. The workaround? Plex Dance.
This. Is. A. Bug.
Uninstalling/reinstalling is a workaround, too. Aside from installing a new version of software, that should never be necessary for properly functioning software.
Ok, you have little understanding of software and it’s complexity. All software will have issues when importing one to another
The Dance is a way of ripping out all and returning a repaired/revised version.
Look what you suggesting can be done but will the software be so affordable.
Major software updates are obviously a re- install not an update or patch. There is a lot to be said for a clean install.
Having said that I understand the Dance frustrations, i would rather be assured it’s been updated correctly than deal with corruption on a regular basis.
