I am one of those OCD people that love things to be a certain way. Sometimes I have content that is not matched and it drives me crazy.

I would love a sort/filter feature where I could have Plex display all content that has not been matched so I can try to manually match them.

Just a thought.

Not trying to put down your request, but there is a work-around to more-or-less accomplish this. Sort your movies by `Release Date`. Anything not matched will not have a date and will be listed either at the front or end of the library depending on the sort order (ascending or descending).

Thank you, this helped me, but I still agree a filter would be nice. The filter by release date is not the first thing to come to mind when you rebuild a 900+ library, and you are going crazy looking for unmatched content.

Are you using the recommended naming guide? I have a little more than 900+ movies and except for 1 all my movies match, even when redoing my library, which I do often to test various things for Plex.

Sorry… I don’t get notifications when people reply. Didn’t know anyone had. Some TV movies don’t match. Typically stuff from Hallmark or Lifetime. It’s not a big deal, just thought it would be really easy and helpful if there was a sort option for matched / unmatched. Just like it would be really awesome if there was a toggle for “On Deck”. I hate when Plex puts stuff on deck for me and I can’t remove them. Changing the weeks since watched does absolutely nothing to reduce the content. Anyway, like I said, not a big deal.

Take a look at webtools plugin. This has a report by library that tells you any unmatched items.  
Just a shame it doesn’t work for music as unmatched items there are a bug bugbear for me
