The New Plex Movie agent is unable to find “Luxo Jr. (1986)” but it is present in TMDb. Can it be added to the source of the New Plex Movie agent?
Thank you.

Thank you.
What is the file name and directory structure? Does it adhere to Plex’s recommended naming?
It works in my Short Films library:
.../Short Films/Luxo Jr. (1986)/Luxo Jr. (1986).ext
I’d like to add that I am unable to find it manually either. I’ve tried various permutations and punctuation. I am able to find the 1991 Luxo Jr shorts made for Sesame Street, just no the 1986 one. I’d also like to reiterate that this is an upgraded library and my only agent is “Plex Movie” (not legacy).
And to answer the above question, the path is:
.../Movies - Radarr/Luxo Jr. (1986)/luxo.jr.1986.1080p.bluray.x264-hd4u.mkv
Well, that’s a super neat trick, worked perfectly. Gonna bank that for the future.
Thank you!
Adding the TMDB ID to the folder & file name results in an automatic match:
/Movies/Luxo Jr. (1986) {tmdb-13925}/Luxo Jr. (1986) {tmdb-13925}.mkv
With the new Plex Movie and TV Show Scanners, you can add the imdb / tmdb / tvdb IDs to the folder and file name. Plex will use the ID to match the movie or show instead of relying just on the folder/file name.
Example:
/Movies
/Batman Begins (2005) {imdb-tt0372784} [1080p.dts.etc]
Batman Begins (2005) {imdb-tt0372784} [1080p.dts.etc].mp4

Glad that worked! It’s frequently useful to know. You can also embed the ID in the file naming.
.../Short Films/Luxo Jr. (1986) {imdb-tt0091455}/Luxo Jr. (1986).ext
Mine matched OK, but I agree that I can’t Match...
or Fix Match...
for this title.
FYI, the Settings
→ Agents
stuff isn’t relevant for the Plex Movie agent. The equivalent settings are instead in the per-Library settings.
Now the option to add the IMDB/TMDb ID to the folder/file name in Radarr makes a lot more sense. Thank you again.
