Any suggestions on how to add music concerts to plex?
most of them are available on imdb. But perhaps i will stumble across some that isnt (but most probably they will be on imdb)
for example:
The up in smoke tour - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0278793/?ref_=nv_sr_1
tiesto elements of life world tour - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1797528/?ref_=nv_sr_3
pink floyd p.u.l.s.e - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110758/?ref_=nv_sr_1
and so on…
I use TMDb for my concerts and just set the library type to Movies. Works flawlessly.
How did you manage to get tmdb to match all your concerts when “updating library”?
For me it justs adds then but don’t match to anything.
But if u choose “Match” and choose it manually everything adds fiine…
The agent tmdb is at the top.
Spare me the naming convention bullcrap. I know how to name the files.and they match directly if i use plex movie agent instead.
So why do I have to do the match (search) manually?
Can you give me an example of something from your library that won’t match? I can make a dummy file with EXACTLY the same naming and see if it works on mine.
That gives us something to work from. If it works on mine, it’s likely a configuration issue your end.
I have to ask an obvious question: although you have TMDb as the top scraper, do you have the folder defined as Movies in its library properties?
A regular movie library in Plex uses the Plex Movie agent by default.
You’ll have to switch the default agent of this library to The Movie Database.
It also can’t hurt to search for the concert at themoviedb.org to see the exact title used.
Think of ‘leaving out’ special characters ( e.g. :) instead of replacing them with other special characters.
Still, you will very likely find some concerts which are not listed at TheMoviedatabase.
I have turned to creating .nfo files for these (needs a special agent manually installed).
If your files are using the MP4 container format, you can also embed most info into the file itself.
But I prefer the MKV Format, because it supports named chapters, which I use to have song names in Plex (still not in all client types).
Seems it was something temporary. Works fine now.
Yes. I have found problems where an identical file but one character will cause TMDb to ignore the match. A good example is AC.DC vs the actual TMDb title of AC/DC. Sometimes I have seen it match these to something random Directors Cut.
Guess you didnt read my post. 
i pretty clearly stated that i was using the movie database, and NOT plex movie agent.
So why you explain that i need to use the movie database agent is beyond me…
but whatever. it works now for some reason.
