What ‘Search Options’ did you try? The capture you show is usually blank when you attempt to first open fix match. In the search options separate the title and the year and it should find what you are after.  
Example:

Searching using the ID for the movie. So assuming it’s ‘[Law Abiding Citizen (2009) — The Movie Database (TMDb)](https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/22803-law-abiding-citizen)’ then search using tmdb-22803 and it’ll find the movie.

Using your settings above I select search and get the proper results. I take it you don’t get any?

If i put “tmdb-22803” where the title needs to be it still says no matches found  
even if i do it without the year.

Okay, I’m guessing something is then failing on your end, maybe DNS lookup or something else. Anything in your logs? Maybe upload the logs so the community can take a look.

Okay, have you tried upgrading to the latest version. I believe the current beta was made publicly available earlier today. Maybe that’ll help.

Anyhow, the fix match problem is most likely caused by not being able to connect to the plex metadata servers.

I was running this version **1.23.5.4801**.  
But after updating to version **1.23.5.4841** and restarting my NAS it seems like it is fixed.

Many thanks to you all for helping me
