Working In General Settings

If newly added movies are being created with the wrong default monitoring or metadata settings, review the facet-level defaults here before editing individual titles — a single change here fixes every new title going forward.

If behavior changed across all movies after an upgrade, check here for new options that may have defaulted to unexpected values before adjusting individual titles.

• Review default behavior for newly added movie titles.
• Configure sidecar or metadata-adjacent behaviors, when the UI exposes them, to match what your media server expects.
• Tune movie-only automation defaults without changing other facets.
• Set the defaults you want before adding a large group of movie titles.
• Re-check this page after upgrading if the release introduces new broad movie defaults.
