Should I "upgrade" my libraries?

I haven’t tested this either. I’m curious to hear what you find.

I have previously noticed edge cases for metadata and unmatched media - editing metadata BEFORE a show is matched can cause it to be lost when it is matched.

It sounds like it isn’t matched. I definitely think you should test.

One nice trick with the new agents is that you can embed the show ID in the folder/file name to guarantee a match, without having to do Fix Match.

Why did you edit them all manually? Why not follow the file naming scheme and let Plex pull the metadata for the show?

The new agents have been the default for new Libraries for a long time. It’s been possible to upgrade for quite a while. The prompt and “encouragement” to upgrade is new.

It’s actually showing the studio, rather than a broadcast network or distribution company.

I thought there was a feature suggestion for this, but I don’t immediately see one. There’s this discussion about it:
