Hi, Since the last update the “Fix Incorrect Match” function does not work anymore. Here what i do: 1. For example i choose the movie “Snowden”, which was uploaded to Plex server recently: 2. From the left menu i choose the “Match” option: 3. As the new poput window uppears, it just give this picture. The software not even tries for searching, no delay, just drops the window. I marked with red that sign. Normally (before the update) it was searching automatically for content and gives a result list. Now, no search, nothing: 4. Than i try to search manually, click on “Search options”, fill whatever needed, and click on “Search”: 5. Again no delay, no searching, it returns inmediately to the picture shown in point 3. What is the problem? What should i check, or set? Thanks, ---

Would you please try searching using Language “English” and see if your results change? ---

I already tried it. Nothing changes. Also played around in the Server settings on the Agents tab (lang, etcÍ). Not helped. ---

I checked with a few others. We’re trying to isolate what we’re finding. Going through the different things we see: First, the ID number PMS thinks some movies should be doesn’t exist. (but we know it does) Second, You have IMDB specifically named as the search agent. We default to, and normally use, Plex Movie. Plex Movie is more understanding and forgiving of name changes for different languages. We would like you to do the following as a test. 1. Edit the library default and make it English 2. Move the movie you showed out and away from Plex 3. Update the Library, Empty the trash, and clean the bundles. This removes all traces of the old (bad) matching attempts 4. Put the movie back into place 5. Update the Library 6. See what results you get. 7. If it does not match correctly, we have one problem 8. If it doesn’t match in your language, we have a different problem ---

I have two thoughts and would like to explore both 1. When you open a terminal window and type `locale`, what do you get? Does it look like mine but properly local for you? 2. If you were to create a new Library, using the same media folders **however** make the default language English for everything in that library, What happens? Does everything in that library ‘work’ ? ---

Is there any way to completely reinstall the linux server application (Plex) so, that the database will be not lost? (I have a lot of manually added details, for home video collection section). If yes, please send me details, step by step how to do this. ---

Reinstalling the application itself is as simple as uninstalling the package and reinstalling it. On debian systems, like ubuntu, do NOT purge. Purge will remove `plex` 's home directory (where your library is stored) ---

So its enough to “apt-get remove …” than install it again? As i see the datas are stored under: /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server ---

I believe the better to use is `dpkg -r`. This will remove the package but leave any ‘conf’ files (per the man page documentation)… If you ‘purge’ it will take configuration files (and the `plex` user’s home directory) ---

Just wanted to chime in. I’ve followed all the required steps including rebooting the server a couple of times and I’m still having the exact same issue as mcll. I’m currently running Ubuntu 16.04 with PMS 1.3.3.3148-b38628e. If there’s anything I can test just let me know. ---

Would you please grab the full logs? What I can see in your files (thanks!) show me it’s reaching for metadata that’s not actually there. It thinks it is, but it’s not. Have you done a metadata refresh and made it download again? If not, would you mind doing so before you capture the logs? That will be of great help.\> @“mike flix” said: [Next page](https://forums.plex.tv/t/fix-incorrect-match-not-working/177152.md?page=2)
