Blood Machines will not match, exists on TVDB and TMDB

Doing a manual search to try to fix match on Blood Machines (2019) it only displays Blood Machines 2016, which is not the correct match. I have tried adjusting the year with either 2019 or 2020, and leaving it blank. I have also tried to use id on both sites to try to fix match… I can easily find the show on both:
TVDB
https://www.thetvdb.com/series/blood-machines

TMDB

It is a movie, not TVDB.

I named a text file “Blood Machines (2020).m4v” and put it into my Movies folder:

Annnnnnnd Chuck beat me to it! Have a great weekend everyone!

Ok, testing that in the Movie library worked, this one is just being extra weird for me. It’s a 3 parter, and I don’t like the way plex does parted movies. I was hoping to be able to select each part individually like a show episode. Ah well. Thanks for the help.

You can make it a single movie but add the -pt1 , -pt2, and '-pt3 right before the extension to have them all treated as the same single movie.

If they’re very similar joining them all together is easily done:

Then you’ll have a movie Plex won’t mishandle.

(if you go have another look at the ‘store’ you got that from - you’ll probably find a ‘Movie’ version of it)
