Lost Matches

Hi, my internet connection dropped out about 1/2 way through updating a huge library, as such it appears that only 1/2 of the titles were matched. The other half appear to be unmatched titles with thumb shots of the footage.

Is there a way to bulk update/match the remaining library titles? I’ve tried to re-fresh metadata, but that doesn’t match the titles.

All the files are in a correctly named format and selecting individual entries and using the “match” or “fix match” feature works fine. but there’s over 2k entries to select (manually doing this is insane). I found a way to select all the entries, but there is no “fix match” option to fix them

Why does Plex server not allow to re-match when the db matching is clearly broken? and is there a way to bulk match? (or do I have to try my luck again and spend over a week wiping and re-doing the library files?)

if the titles aren’t matched, click the ... context menu for that library and select Scan Library Files.

The titles are matched correctly and were so when first added. Scan library does nothing.

I am having something similar. When I add new movies Plex doesn’t match it. So I use the fix match and choose the correct movie but it doesn’t bring any info over for the movie. I have to go manually match up the poster art and there is no metadata tide to the movie. I have already rebuilt the library twice and when I do that Plex goes out and populates everything. Once it is done any movie I add after that Plex won’t update.
