@MoJoKitty87 posted a new topic, subject "How to edit cast information". It read:

   Hi, Is there a way to edit cast information? The cast is listed as the software I used to cover my DVD to MP4. I have the metadata set to The Movie Database. Please help Thank you

So @dokuro replied

    Yeah but not the way you might be hoping.
    
    If you register on TMDB then you can edit the movie/show there. Wait 24hrs for the plex cache servers to pickup the change and then refresh the metadata in your local plex server to pickup the changes.

So @tom80H replied

    That looks more like your mp4 file has embedded metadata and `Local Media Assets` enabled and prioritized over the content you get from The Movie Database (`Settings` > `Server` > `Agents` > `Movies` > `The Movie Database`).
    
    Options to solve this are:
    
      1. remove the embedded metadata – your tagging is a little overwhelming… if you're on a Mac, you can use Subler for that purpose
      2. go to the agent settings and lower the priority of `Local Media Assets` by moving it below `The Movie Database`
    
    
    
    When you've done that (one or both options) refresh the movie's metadata from within Plex.

To which @dokuro replied

    Oh sorry, misread the post 
    
    Yeah, its probably local metadata embedded in the mp4.

Then @MoJoKitty87 said

    This was the fix. Thank you very much
