PMS keeps removing Title of Home Videos

Hey Guys,
I am having a strange issue, I have a folder with bunch of home videos, so I add my own title and sorting title (always the same value) and ensure I lock it. (as per screenshot below) , 2 weeks ago i noticed the TITLE was still locked however the value was empty, so I copy paste from Sorting title and saved, all good for a few days, and again I noticed today same thing happened (this could have happened 2-3 days ago, I just noticed today)
Any reason you guys can think of that would clear the value of Title?
on that note, is there anyway I can export the list of movies/TV shows to Excel so if this happens again I can easily copy/paste?
Cheers,

Items such as those need to be ‘matched’ using The Personal Media Agent.

Fix Match/Search Options/Agent/Personal Media

That tells Plex NOT to try to match them - and blow your edits every time it does - as you now know - that lock button does nothing if the item isn’t ‘Matched’.

You can also put items like those into an Other Videos Library. Plex won’t match anything in one of those, but the Library isn’t as versatile.

Interesting this collection under TV shows, has no “FIX Match” it has only “Match” if I go to another collection, which has actual TV shows, then I see “FIX MATCH”
How about a way to export to CSV/Excel? anyway to do that?

So use Match instead.
That just indicates the item has never been matched.

If it had you would have seen:
Fix Match
or
Unmatch

[Pooya.to]

did that, Search agent --> Personal Media shows
however,. when I try it again Match, still has Search Options --> Auto Match

Once you select Personal Media Agent - you then select the only item in the list, yours.

That’s it… ur done.
You can now edit safely.

Thanks!!! hopefully it doesnt change again!
Any insight on how to export a list of media to a text/csv format?

[JuiceWSA]

Nope.

Can’t imagine why you’d do that, but someone else might know…

Thanks!!! hopefully it doesnt change again!

Just in case… do this as well:

Video File Naming

With LMA in priority, Embedded Titles within MP4/M4V files are preferred - even over a perfect file name. Local Media Assets should - AT ALL TIMES - remain enabled (unless specifically instructed to turn it off). Local Media Assets should be ‘Demoted’, to the bottom of the stack of active agents under ALL tabs in Shows and Movies, but should NOT be disabled. Local Media Assets is needed for many things - it doesn’t need to be given Tip-Top-Priority (as Plex has so hatefully placed it as it’s …
