Good day everyone! The essence of the problem: In the first Movies library, I select a movie, then click on the actor and go to the library page sorted by this actor. Link: [https://app.plex.tv/desktop/#!/media/e2984b89a8d15a424ca4ff40e6ade8be2c7734a7/com.plexapp.plugins.library?source=8&key=%2Flibrary%2Fsections%2F8%2Fall%3Factor%3D26287&pageType=list](https://app.plex.tv/desktop/#!/media/e2984b89a8d15a424ca4ff40e6ade8be2c7734a7/com.plexapp.plugins.library?source=8&key=%2Flibrary%2Fsections%2F8%2Fall%3Factor%3D26287&pageType=list) In the second Movies library (same settings), I select a movie, then click on the actor, but go to the actor’s page in the Discover section. Link: [https://app.plex.tv/desktop/#!/provider/tv.plex.provider.discover/details?key=%2Flibrary%2Fpeople%2F5d77683b85719b001f3a4d9b](https://app.plex.tv/desktop/#!/provider/tv.plex.provider.discover/details?key=%2Flibrary%2Fpeople%2F5d77683b85719b001f3a4d9b) Global search for an actor works correctly, as in the second library, sending me to the actor’s page in the Discover section. Fixing the problems (database optimization, package cleanup) and updating all metadata of the first library does not fix the problem. I have 3 Movie libraries and 2 Series libraries. Only 1 Movie library and 1 Series library work correctly, although they were created approximately at the same time. Plex Server for Windows Version 1.40.4.8679 How can I change the incorrect (library filter instead of the Discover section) behavior of the library? ---

Compare the settings on the Advanced tab of each library’s properties. See also the FAQ on this page: [https://support.plex.tv/articles/discover-credits/](https://support.plex.tv/articles/discover-credits/) ---

Done with comparing. Libraries have the same settings. _1st Movies library advanced settings:_ - Scaner: Plex Movie - Agent: Plex Movie According to [https://support.plex.tv/articles/discover-credits/](https://support.plex.tv/articles/discover-credits/) : - Include adult content: **Disabled** - The library uses a legacy metadata agent: **No** - Items in a Plex Media Server library have not been refreshed: **Metadata refreshed** _2d Movies library advanced settings:_ - Scaner: Plex Movie - Agent: Plex Movie According to [https://support.plex.tv/articles/discover-credits/](https://support.plex.tv/articles/discover-credits/) : - Include adult content: **Disabled** - The library uses a legacy metadata agent: **No** - Items in a Plex Media Server library have not been refreshed: **Metadata refreshed** ---

See if a complete DB rebuild can solve this issue. You can use the .bat or the .ps1 file from this project (shut down Plex server before using them): [PlexDBRepair/Windows at master · ChuckPa/PlexDBRepair · GitHub](https://github.com/ChuckPa/PlexDBRepair/tree/master/Windows) ---

I have the same issue with actors and the Discovery section, but I’m using Plex on TrueNAS SCALE official App. From searching I can see everything about an actor, from the movie I see only movies with him inside the movie library. Looks like UI misdesign. ---

Backup your Plex DB - [https://support.plex.tv/articles/?s=backup+database&search=support\_articles](https://support.plex.tv/articles/?s=backup+database&search=support_articles) And try this - [GitHub - ChuckPa/PlexDBRepair: Database repair utility for Plex Media Server databases](https://github.com/ChuckPa/PlexDBRepair/tree/master) ---
