Refresh Metadata for entire library?

Channels DVR Server Troubleshooting
#1

Is there a way that I can refresh the metadata for the entire library at once?

Background - Several of my virtual channels stopped working recently. After some troubleshooting, I noticed that a lot of the content was showing duration time of 0 seconds. If I refreshed the metadata on the content, it updated with the correct duration time of the content. The problem though is that for things like TV shows, I can only do this on a per show/season at a time, so it is time consuming. Any way that I can just tell it to refresh the metadata for the whole entire library at once?

This problem may have started due to some reorganization I did with the source content. The content plays fine, but somehow the metadata got messed up in the process.

Found a bit quick way, but it's still a bit time consuming. Go to DVR > Manage. This lets me select a lot more content at once, but I am still having to go through multiple pages.

there isn’t a built-in way to handle this. but when I was refreshing metadata on STRM files, I found this thread, which may be helpful
