The most common problem here is that you’re trying to find the fix match option on a season or episode, these don’t support fix match. You must match the TV show itself (or movie). More information, maybe a screenshot would be useful too. ---

Make sure you are - using the main user account (the one with the crown) of your Plex Home - editing a movie within a library on your own server - not using any web browser add-ins which have the potential to block parts of web pages ---

How is your folder structure organized and how are your files named? Which series is it actually? This one?

Yes its the 1952 version…I have the first two years. I am experimenting with getting it recognized . It somehow defaults to the 1990s version. ---

Stick to the recommended naming. That includes the release year for a good reason. [https://support.plex.tv/articles/naming-and-organizing-your-tv-show-files/](https://support.plex.tv/articles/naming-and-organizing-your-tv-show-files/) ---
