Refreshing Metadata (Search for Missing) Updates Locked Fields

[luser 37]

My hypothesis was that Emby expects the CommunityRating value to be in TMDb rating "format", which has 14 decimals.
However, this doesn't seem to be correct..

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Test #1
I shutdown the DB and set the community rating of each item to 6.50000038146973.
I started Emby, and the rating of each item is displayed as 6.5.
In the DB, the value of CommunityRating is still 6.50000038146973 for every item.

I then right clicked the library, clicked "Refresh Metadata", changed the "Refresh mode" to "Search for missing metadata", and clicked "Refresh".
I waited for this to complete.
Afterwards, I restarted the Emby server.

Some items in the library still have a rating of 6.50000038146973, while others have been changed.

Test #2
I shutdown the DB and set the community rating of each item to 6.50000038146973.
This time I also set LockedFields = 'CommunityRating' for  the item.
I started Emby, and the rating of each item is displayed as 6.5.
In the DB, the value of CommunityRating is still 6.50000038146973 for every item.

I then right clicked the library, clicked "Refresh Metadata", changed the "Refresh mode" to "Search for missing metadata", and clicked "Refresh".
I waited for this to complete.
Afterwards, I restarted the Emby server.

Some items in the library still have a rating of 6.50000038146973, while others have been changed.

I'm at a loss. I don't understand what logic Emby is using to replace CommunityRating.
Of the 526 items updated, only 112 still contain the CommunityRating I set.

Hi, how did you do this?

[luser 37]

By monitoring the log and the progress circle in the UI over the library.

OK then what I would suggest is to do everything with the UI and verify that it functions as expected.

Did you do this part?

[luser 37]

I did. Same result : (
I can post more complete details of my tests later this week.

I will also try to lock all fields. I haven't tried that. Maybe it's just the single field locking that isn't working.

@Happy2Playare you able to reproduce?

@luserwhat is the exact process of testing as this sounds like direct db edits, then refreshes.
