Description

I've read the documentation.

  • I'm running the latest version of the TubeArchivist Plex Integration Scanner and Agent. I have read the latest release notes and installation instructions.

Operating System

Proxmox LXC Debian

Your Bug Report

Describe the bug

If you add a "Show" to a Collection in Plex, the Show's Collections tags are erased when a new "Episode" is added and the metadata is updated by the Agent.

Steps To Reproduce

Add Show to Collection Download new Episode to Show in TA Scan Files in Plex

Expected behavior

When TA-Plex agent updates Show metadata, Collections and other tags should not be overwritten.

Relevant log output

Will provide logs if absolutely necessary, but I don't think they're needed for this case.

Anything else?

No response

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the Plex agent's metadata update logic, specifically how it handles Collection tags during episode additions. Examine the code that populates show metadata and ensure existing Collection tags are merged rather than overwritten.
