Why is an additional "Refresh Metadata" needed sometimes?

It would be awesome if someone from Plex clould confirm if:

Given that you use either a .plexmatch file or a folder name including match hinting

  • This is by design, e.g. “Refresh metadata” or “Scan my library periodically” is always needed after a new show has been added to scrape episode metadata
  • This is a bug when using match hinting
