Server Version#: Version 1.21.1.3830  
Player Version#: Version 4.49.2

I have few episodes in different TV Show and seasons where the Metadata doesn’t update.  
I tried to forced them to update by click Refresh Metadata.  
It seems to look for Metadata but after a while it finishes and nothing it’s updated.  
I did it on the episode and also on the whole show.

for example The Mandalorian S02E08 didn’t update (No tittle and No plot) but all other episodes in the season are fine.  
(File removed)  
I have attached the logs straight after trying to do a Metadata Update.  
Thanks for your help on this one.

I had the same problem with The Mandalorian S02E08 but now it’s fixed so a simple refresh metadata should work. If that doesn’t work you can try doing the [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) for epsiode 8.

I’m having the same(?) issue. Not with The Mandalorian, but several other shows/episodes.

I was fixing and updating my media files and noticed many of the new fixed eps were being updated on Plex, but the metadata never downloaded.

Went through emptying the trash, scanning and refreshing metadata for the whole library and then for specific episodes, no joy.
