I have heard of the Plex Dance several times but I had to jump through quite a few links and read quite a few posts just now to actually understand the issue and what people are experiencing. Does this only affect certain versions of Plex Media Server? I’ve been using Ubuntu PMS for my 50TB of media for the last six months and haven’t had to do this once. I’m constantly moving media around and creating new directories so I feel like I would’ve hit this at least once by now. Is this a common occurrence for most people?
Moving things around and creating new directories isn’t usually what necessitates the dance. If you edit embedded tags for items that Plex has already cataloged, the Refresh command in Plex is supposed to update that info in Plex’s database. But it doesn’t work. At least, not always.
If you’d like to see a list of threads where people have run into this problem, see here.
