Plex refuses to use local metadata

Thank you for the reply:

Almost, but not quite.

I’m familiar with the “Plex Dance,” and use it often. While it works most times, and possibly in the OP’s scenario, in my recent situation, it did not.

For whatever reason, the ONLY WAY I could get the usual “Plex Dance” to work was by editing the tag in a different OS.

Since it appears there may be inaccurate assumptions regarding my previous post, I will add clarification:

In this instance, I FIRST attempted the “Plex Dance” on the SAME OS/SAME MACHINE - it DID NOT work. At this point, I moved on to trying a different OS and a different machine.

(adding this detail to my original reply, as well)
