Hi Plex community,  
Match is not working for some of my files, even when I manually try to find them. It use to work, if Plex couldn’t find a movie or show I could go to fix match(or match) and things would populate as options and as I input data like year it would find it. Now it comes back with nothing. Is anyone else running into this issue?

I found the answer that worked, had to delete the libraries and cache of plex. Its working like it use to.
