Plex Server Not Showing Episode Name

JuiceWSA - Actually, there are a LOT of shows that did that seemingly after a certain date (not just sleepy hollow)… that seems a bit time consuming (the plex dance part) to do that for every show so I may just leave well enough alone and hope one day it fixes itself with an update or something. Moving LMA and refreshing didn’t do anything.

Remakes/Reboots of previous shows always have (YEAR) in the Title at TVDB. In the old days - before Plex decided to add corners to a wheel that was previously round (improving it, of course) - we just used the name at TVDB and it was all flowers and kittens. Filebot worked like it should and everything matched.

Now Plex is trying to backwards engineer a DVR Feature (that has basically been broken for nearly 30 years due to THE IDIOTS THAT WORK THE EPGS) so Plex is going to change the world, and Plex, so it won’t work with anything, except maybe Plex DVR, but from what I hear that’s broken too.

There’s a rather molten topic right now about how Plex has screwed up the way 480p is labled - in another effort to make Plex work with Plex DVR (I guess), improving that old, tired, round wheel with one in the shape of a Trapezoid - sure to make things better.

For 2 weeks (or more - just noticed it two weeks ago) my Droid Phone Plex app reports: “Unfortunately Plex Has Stopped”. I wouldn’t be too surprised by that if it weren’t for the fact that the Plex app isn’t even running on it when I’m told it’s stopped and to make matters worse, it’s stopped before I can even get it started, so as you might guess - it’s not working. The post I added to in the Mobile Section about that bug has gone unanswered - due to Plex being busy with more important things.

Anyway…

The bottom line is that we have that bug wherein Plex can’t have it’s stupid, flea bitten dog drop a bogus bundle and write a new one without doing The Plex Dance. Plex doesn’t have time to fix that 10 year old bug 'cause they’re working on other, more important things, like Plex DVR and forcing X-Rated Movie Trailers into their Discovery Hubs for your 8 year old.

Do the Plex Dance. It ain’t gonna fix itself or deal with the stuff that’s there now. If you moved LMA the new stuff should behave, but maybe not. With a half bogus bundle Plex can’t update with the right information you may never see an episode name. Hard to say at this point.
