Ok…so for some stupid reason, PLEX and Filebot have a real issue with the movie 10.5
There are others, but this one is a royal PITA to get to name correctly and then to associate with meta data correctly. I had it finally (had to name by hand as filebot will NOT pull the info even though it is there on TMDB and IMDB) done correctly in my PLEX database. Then I did some work on the movie and upgraded the sound and res. Thus had a new file to put into Plex. Again, had to rename it by hand and then dropped into Plex. Didn’t think anything of it… So I’m at church…and while waiting to teach a course on sound engineering after service I do what I always do and pull up my Plex on the big 20’ screens to watch a show… Imagine my face when all those sitting in the sanctuary that happened to be looking at the screen see this movie title under recently added movies:
10 Man ■■■ Slam 5 complete with, of course, the giant movie poster for that movie!!!
I’m laughing now…but that was NOT good…and oh did I hear about it!!! Trying to explain that there is NO PORN movies on my server… But, since I was running from the web it wouldn’t allow me to edit or view the info to find out what movie it was supposed to actually be, so I could say SEE…that’s NOT the movie it thinks it is…
Anyway, just thought I would share… UGH!!! LMAO!!!

Part of the problem is that they are TV mini-series movies. In fairness, because these are ONE file movies I totally forgot that they are TV mini-series movies.
I do NOT put these files in TV section because they are combined into ONE movie file.
10.5 (2004) (my file name: 10.5 [2004, NR, 165 Min] [Kim Delaney, Fred Ward, Ivan Sergei] [Action, Drama] [720p, AAC@6ch].mp4)
&
10.5: Apocalypse (2006) (my file name: 10.5 - Apocalypse [2006, PG, 169 Min] [Kim Delaney, Beau Bridges, Melissa Carter] [Drama, Thriller] [720p, AC3@2ch].mp4)
IMDB info:
10.5 - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0364146/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2
10.5: Apocalypse - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0463850/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
TheTVdb info:
10.5 - https://www.thetvdb.com/series/10-5
10.5: Apocalypse - https://www.thetvdb.com/series/10-5-apocalypse
Filebot WILL find them if you search thetvdb. (again, I forgot they were NOT regular movies)
Thus, once you get the actual info (like I have in my file names which is my format for all movies via Filebot) PLEX will find 10.5: Apocalypse just fine… but NOT 10.5 (choosing the porn movie instead.)
I wish IMDB was an option in Filebot & Plex but it isn’t and I have read why long ago… hate it, but whatever…
Fair enough…
So a completely understandable situation because of the root FileBot cause with a little PEBKAC thrown in for extra flavor.
Gotcha! LOL 
Plex did fine it using the Plex database on a manual search. I filled out all the info by hand (title, sort title, genre, date, director, etc…) THEN it found it. But wouldn’t find it any other way.
When matching Plex ignores EVERYTHING in square brackets [ ] so Plex never sees the date in your format. Try:
10.5 (2004) [NR, 165 Min] [Kim Delaney, Fred Ward, Ivan Sergei] [Action, Drama] [720p, AAC@6ch].mp4
But even then there might be a problem as Plex and the regular agents have been having a very hard time with TV movies lately.
Also the file might have some VERY bad metadata embedded so, if you have not already, go into your agent settings and for every agent move “Local assets” below everything else.
BTW: You can put it in a TV library if you want and it might work there just use one season like:
10.5 (2004).mp4
…Season 01
…10.5 (2004) - s01e01 [NR, 165 Min] [Kim Delaney, Fred Ward, Ivan Sergei] [Action, Drama] [720p, AAC@6ch].mp4
I should have stated, my mistake, the [] around dates are NEW format for me. I have always used () until about a month ago when I created an entirely new algorithm for Filebot…and changed it. It never found it with () either… I did learn long ago that Filebot likes dates in (). When I couldn’t get a file to match up in Filebot with some of the messed up file names people use online: Movie.name.this.that.Ziod.720.AAC.5.1.channel.some.other.crap.1982.some.more.crap.mp4
I had forgotten (thanks for the reminder) that Plex doesn’t like those either… However, that said…it has probably found 99.999% of the files I drop in (over 3000 movies so far) using the [] around the year. Like I said, I just started using those around the year and renamed every one of my movies over the last couple weeks.
Filebot has had issues with TV movies and I had been working with the creator showing him files that have been problems…Some also were tossing errors that he never thought of because he had not used any of those in testing… So hopefully that will be fixed soon…
