Finally!! [image] No, just kidding. I would be really ashamed if my product had this kind of flaw. I mean come on Plex!? It’s 2022. Do I really still need to move files around to be able to have Plex forget them and start from scratch? Look, I’ve spent hours and hours doing the Plex Dance ™ in m…

When the online source was changed plex did pickup the episode order change, it only changed the played status. Force metadata refresh made no difference at the time.

I don’t get it. If you’ve watched ep 6 and TheTVDB changes ep 6->8, 7->6, 8->7, your PMS should still have ep 6 as ep 6 and the watched status shouldn’t change. Are you saying PMS will update as well so your files now point to the wrong episode? Because it shouldn’t. Or are you saying you want i…
