What menu is the prefer local metadata option, I can’t find it?
Do you mean local media assets? I brought that to the top because that’s what the subtitles tutorial said to do
They don’t need to be at the top for external subtitles to work. They just need to to be activated.
Moving local media to the bottom didn’t work. Using the new Plex Movie agent and prefer local unchecked didn’t work either
Checking Use original titles fixed it. Thanks for the patience and all the help you guys!
I’ll look into this mounting stuff tomorrow, now I just finally wanna watch a film 
Whoa! You cannot jump quickly between those two agents.
Besides, you have to “Refresh Metadata” after making the change, to see any effect.
This is not a fix. With this checkbox activated, you will get english titles on english films, russian titles (in cyrillic!) on russian movies and japanese (in kanji or katakana) on japanese movies.
Maybe the agent just started working after I changed. I’, gonna try and uncheck it
If you really changed the agent setting to “Plex Movie”, you must
- verify that “Prefer embedded metadata” is DISabled
- Refresh Metadata for the whole library
Yeah works now, with Origingal titles unchecked. It was the new Agent that did it I guess
If I may augment here?
USB media and the automounter make for all kinds of permission problems.
Gnome mounts the drives under /media, assigned to your username, with exclusive access.
User plex can’t see them in most cases.
If you move the drive, it’ll show up somewhere else (if you use /etc/fstab – which is recommended)
Here’s how to deal with both and give the drives a predictable home which:
- You’re still in control of the files
- The files are always in the same place (you don’t have to use the names I show in the example)
- Plex can read the files.
