hi together, I have a big problem. When I add a new movie “House of Manson (2014).mkv”
Plex doesn’t find any information automatically. When I fix the match manually is in the text box “House of Manson German”. When I delete the “German” in the textbox, Plex can find the information.
How can I fix it?
Kind regards
Why does it find the „German“ suffix in the first place? Is that part of your file name or is this coming from a mp4 file with embedded metadata?
As for file naming… put anything beyond the actual movie name and release year in square brackets to prevent Plex from considering it part of the matching related elements.
Example: Movie Title (Year) [technical stuff].ext
Every movie filename is like “House of Manson (2014).mkv” without German. Plex doesn’t find the info.
The German suffix is only showing when I try to find the meta manually
Can you please check if your file has embedded metadata (specifically an embedded title like „House of Manson German“).
If it does you can either
Settings > Agents
Ok, I disable “local media assets”. Nothing happened.
“Remove the title before scanning” what do you mean?
I add 100-1000 movie per day.
For “remove the title before scanning” you can use the mkvpropedit tool in a script to take care of that for you. If not on your machine, install with
sudo apt install mkvtoolnix
The script looks like this:
#!/bin/bash
find . -name "*.mkv" -exec mkvpropedit -s title= {} \;
exit
