Star Wars Metadata

I am having issue with metadata for starwars series specifically.

In the Movie Database it shows all 9 starwars movies in 1 collection.

However when it scrapes metadata it only puts the Episode 4/5/6 and the latest 3 in the collection.

It doesn’t put Episode 1/2/3 in the collection.

Further to this, the naming format for Episode 4/5/6 is ‘Star Wars’, ‘Empire Strikes Back’, and ‘Return of the Jedi’ all without the ‘Star Wars: Episode XX’ like it is for the rest.

I understand I can manually fix this, but wanted to know if why this issue is happening.

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 …

If renaming them and refreshing metadata doesn’t work - Plex Dance:

The Plex Dance ™

The purpose of this is to remove all cached metadata and xml data for an item that Plex usually keeps. This helps when you want to “start from scratch” for particular item move all files for the media item out of the directory your Library is looking at, so Plex will not “see” it anymore scan the library library (to detect changes) empty trash clean bundles (in menu next to server name, when accessed under ‘More’) double check naming schema and move files back scan the library Support articl…
