The “Smearing” is actually multiple names overlapped.
For those titles, what does the XML reveal ?
Are they MP4 / AVI files ?
Have you tried a “Plex Dance” to clear out the records (in case it’s in the DB that way) ?
you can reload the software if you want.
- Stop Plex
- Uninstall + KEEP (default action)
- Download the SPK again
- Install again. It will find everything when it starts – just as before.
