Yet Another Local Media Assets Not Working Thread (Movies, 2020)

I use inline and have Automatic Updates enabled.
I haven’t noticed any odd behavior, but if I do, I’ll know where to squish it.

When I Plex Dance one of these things I Dance the whole thing - Folder, Movie, Extras - the works. If that hasn’t been happening - it should - with Auto Updates disabled. I love following instructions when available…lol

BTW @MovieFan.Plex - what IS the deal with the Film Reel/Trailers?
Our intrepid explorer has a bunch of them.
Do they all show up under the Reel or what?

No, only the first/main one will appear under the reel. The rest appear among the other extras.

That’s what I thought - we haven’t seen any of those yet.

A proper Dance as instructed may change things.

I did have partial updates enabled.

Turned it off. Did the Plex dance on Escape from LA. When I moved it back to the folder I kept the inline naming. Got the same 3 bonus features as in the above image.

I noticed, though, that I did have Automatically Scan when changes are detected enabled. So I disabled that just in case.

I did the Hokey-Plex-Pokey and turned myself around…

Scanned library files and…

ALL THE BONUS FEATURES WERE THERE

So I then switched from inline to folders (Plex Dance, renamed the files when they weren’t in my Movies folder, then moved them back and scanned the files)

So I guess I’ll Plex Dance the entire Movies folder and see if that works for the movies where this hasn’t worked in the past (unless you have a better suggestion than killing the entire movie history)

Create a Folder on each of your hdds called:
On Deck
(or something clever)

Plex Dancing is easier when you can instantly remove from view - Dance - then move back in the blink of an eye.

Dance a few - see what happens.

I have 5000+ Movies - I can’t really think of a reason - besides the other reasons I recently restructured my entire Plexiverse - that would make me want to do that again - soon.

But… apply whatever tactic does the most damage - or cures the most disease.

Anywho - as you do that - you know you have to build ‘Version’ Extras from the ground up. Report any misbehavior, but carry on.

Thank you for all the help! It took quite a bit of trial-and-error but finally it’s working! (Until the next version of Plex LOL)

Oh sorry. Those 2 settings go hand in hand. Should have mentioned turning both off.
