Hey guys. Very new to Plex, and still trying to learn the ropes, but I can’t find an answer to this question in the forum. Randomly, one of my movies just doesn’t appear in Plex. It’s not under duplicates or unmatched, and it has the correct title. It simply will not appear in Plex, and is the only…

Anything special about that particular file… like what file type / extension is it or what exact folder structure and file name do you use? [image] Why is some of my content not found? | Plex Support Naming and Organization The biggest reason by far for items to not be found during a lib…

Thanks for the response Tom. That’s too bad :frowning: Nope, there’s nothing special about the file or folder name, or extension. It’s named exactly like the other movies: Title (Year)

Arni, what movie is it? Also, is the folder also named Title (year)/Title (Year).ext ? Or is it in a main folder with a bunch of other movies?

Hey Jason. No, all the folders are Title (Year), whereas the files are original and unchanged scene names. As I say, this is exactly same for all my movies. There’s nothing about this movie particularly that makes it different from the others, and yet this one refuses to show up. The file name or …

Ok, I think you missed my point… My first question was, what movie is it? I need this answered… The other question was about the structure of your files, I understand that the rest of the movies are working, and that there’s nothing “different” about this movie… I simply wanted to know if all of…

Second Jason. Can’t help if you don’t name the movie. Otherwise we can’t check and see what the file name should be in case you have it wrong.

I’m sorry Jason, I thought it was clear from my previous post: All my movies are Scene-named files, in Title (Year) folders. One movie in one folder. Which goes to my point that there’s literally no difference between this movie and 99.9% of the others. It does not matter which movie it is, since t…

Arni, 99.9% is not 100%. You came here seeking help, and we’re giving you help, it’s on you whether or not you follow it. As Juice said, when Plex misbehaves, that’s now on you. Not on Plex. Lastly, you still have not answered my very first question, which is: What movie is it? [image] ArniV…

@ArniVidar here’s the problem… Without you being willing to change the name… And without you giving the name of the movie… You’ve basically just prevented two possible solutions… It’s frustrating, as someone who is here, for free, to help, to have someone argue back with “I’m not doing this, I’m …

There’s no way in Plex to manually enter a movie without scanning it from your file system…
