    Greetings!

    I noticed the metadata for a number of my movies was incorrect (release year specifically) and didn't correct after a metadata refresh. When i dug into why, I saw that the metadata for most of my movies was locked. Unlocking it and refreshing the metadata fixed the incorrect data.

    So, a couple questions:
    1. I'm confident that i didn't manually lock the metadata for thousands of my movies. Any ideas how that could happen, so I can prevent it in the future?
    2. Is there an easy way to unlock the metadata for a large number of movies? I'd rather not do it for each movie by hand if I don't have to. I'm comfortable connecting to SQL databases, editing files, etc.

    I appreciate any help.

    I was able to mass unlock the metadata by going directly into library.db and switching isLocked to 0 for all rows.

    I'm still curious as to how this happened, if anyone has ideas, I'd appreciate hearing them.
