Let’s say I navigate to a movie that’s in my Library, for example “Biutiful” with Javier Bardem. I’m on the movie page and it lists the actors, I click on Javier Bardem, and it brings me to his page. None of the movies in his filmography that I have in my Library are listed as being in my Library (Dune 1+2, Skyfall, No Country for Old Men). When I click on those movies, like Skyfall, it shows Add to Watchlist, another Library I have access to, and places where I can rent or buy it. However I can search for Skyfall and it brings me to an identical page showing I have it in my Library.
Things I’ve tried: Optimizing the database, and checking for corruption in the SQLite (returned an “ok” response")
How can I get Plex to see I have those movies? I don’t want people that have access to my library thinking I don’t have something when in fact I do, it’s just not being seen by Plex.
I started that thread and it’s still not 100% fixed. It has to do with how they changed discovery to do the credits. I’ve been on version 1.32.5.7516 for over a year because of this problem. I thought the latest beta fixed it (provided you manually click on a actor and let it refresh the credits page) but every time I add new media and it scans, it erases the actor credit it generated. I finally had enough of that after 4 days today of testing the 1.41 beta that i went back to 1.32.5.7516 (database was backed up) and there’s no lag, no waiting for things to propagate and fill actor credits. Once the server scans the media and adds it to my library the actor credits are there, they stay there, they never disappear and need to be re propagated. I guess this is the version I’ll end up using forever until it no longer works and I have to upgrade since I started that thread a year ago. It’s also not a client side issue as I see it on plexweb, android and windows. It’s a server issue.
If your server machine has more than one network adapter, consider disabling all but one (use a wired connection preferably).
It does no good if a server is swapping network connections all the time (for instance because it’s a mobile computer which is moved in and out of WiFi range).
