Metadata in files missing after Fixing episode numbers

[MarioMan632]

I changed the status manually of some videos to be shorts, then I fixed the episode numbers. After refreshing the library in Plex, I noticed some were missing titles, descriptions, etc. When viewing the files in MediaInfo, I noticed the files that were sorted no longer had any metadata, which Plex would use to add info to the library.

Found the issue. The "Fix Episode Numbers" function moved .nfo sidecar files alongside the video but never updated their XML content. The .nfo still had the old season/episode numbers, so Plex was reading stale metadata.

Fixed in v1.9.0 - two changes:

1. The renumber function now regenerates the .nfo file for every video whose episode number changes, so the XML always matches the current state.
2. Added a daily background maintenance task (runs at 3 AM) that checks all downloaded videos for missing or out-of-sync .nfo files and repairs them automatically.

After pulling the latest image, run "Fix Episode Numbers" again on the affected channel. The .nfo files will be regenerated with the correct metadata and Plex should pick them up on its next scan.

I've updated and tried this and even let is run overnight to see if the background maintinance task would fix this but it seems while the file names match the contence for the nfo file have the wrong episode number listed so it fails to get the metadata in plex.
Also adding some buttons for the maintance tasks and maybe a bit of text to show when it last ran and if it was successul would be handy for diagnostics.
