MetaTana sits between your files and Plex. It reviews and writes clean NFO metadata, artwork, subtitles, and sidecars beside your media, then tells Plex to rescan. It does not replace Plex and it does not modify your media files. Think of it as the metadata QC layer your library was missing.
Plex is only as good as the data on disk. When matches, artwork, and names are messy, your library shows it. MetaTana cleans the source of truth before the scan.
MetaTana writes reviewable metadata beside your files and triggers a Plex library rescan so the corrected data lands in your library. Nothing is hidden in a proprietary database you cannot leave.
Run MetaTana in Docker next to your server or on the desktop. It reads the local truth already beside your files, proposes reviewable writes, and rolls back cleanly if you change your mind. Plex keeps doing what it does best.
No. MetaTana is not affiliated with Plex and does not replace it. Plex stays your player and library server. MetaTana is the metadata QC layer that cleans filenames, NFO metadata, artwork, and sidecars beside your files, then triggers a Plex rescan.
No. MetaTana does not modify your media. It reads filenames and sidecar metadata, writes NFOs, artwork, and sidecars alongside them, and tells Plex to re-scan. Every write is journaled so you can roll back.
Yes. MetaTana writes clean local metadata and artwork beside your files and can trigger a Plex library rescan, so the corrected data shows up in your library.
No. The media organizer is free, including local BYOK provider lookups. Pro adds hosted AI Vision for difficult matches and MCP automation, but the core Plex metadata cleanup works on Free.
