so this wasn’t the issue I even went to the extent of reinstalling my server. I enabled strict tls and secured connections is set to required now.

I was playing around with the [plex dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) and noticed that within each shows directory there is a .plexmatch file out of curiosity I deleted that file for Alice in Borderland while doing the [plex dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) and all metadata populated correctly once the library detected a change. Upon reading wtf this file is I see that it’s not needed but how did this file get created in the first place for every show in my library?

edit: after checking sonarr’s metadata settings I disabled plex within that setting
