Episode titles don't use json data?

[JamynShanley]

yt-dlp options are as follows:

/usr/local/bin/yt-dlp \ --download-archive "youtube_archive.txt" \ --dateafter now-1month \ --playlist-end 25 \ --abort-on-unavailable-fragment \ --match-filter "is_live != true & was_live != true" \ --format "bestvideo[vcodec!*=av01]+bestaudio" \ --sub-langs 'all,-live_chat' \ --convert-thumbnails png \ --embed-chapters \ --embed-info-json \ --embed-metadata \ --embed-subs \ --embed-thumbnail \ --write-info-json \ --convert-subs 'srt' \ --sponsorblock-remove sponsor \ --geo-bypass \ --remux mkv \ --merge-output-format mkv \ --no-abort-on-error \ --ignore-errors \ -o "%(channel)s [%(channel_id)s]/%(upload_date)s %(title)s [%(id)s].%(ext)s" \ $channel

My files are named using this format:

20230104 Regretting your class choice in games [W5OxWXbB5vw].mkv

I also save an .info.json file alongside the video. The problem is that in Plex, the videos are named the same as the filename (20230104 Regretting your class choice in games [W5OxWXbB5vw]) and not what I'd expect (Regretting your class choice in games). The series, seasons, and art are all correct, just not episode names. Am I mis-configuring something or is this expected behavior?

@JamynShanley can you try to fix match and see if that fixes it? i had the same problem before

Naming convention look fine: "%(channel)s [%(channel_id)s]/%(upload_date)s %(title)s [%(id)s].%(ext)s" Unsure if matched or not, but title wasn't amended. Troubleshooting section not followed, no logs

[ZeroQI]

Do you still have the issue ?

• If so agent logs [...]/Plex Media Server/Logs/PMS Plugin Logs/com.plexapp.agents.Youtube-Agent.log would help
• If not, what caused the issue, in case it can help other people ?

[Jamyn]

I do, but missed your January reply. I'm collecting logs and will attach them today.

[Jamyn]

I think these are the relevant lines for the original examples:

So, it seems to read the title and summary properly, but it's not updating Plex:
