I wonder have any of you had any issues with Plex finding movies in it’s data base? I have had movies that it recognized but when I download a better version of the same movie and delete the older version Plex won’t recognize the new version. Why is that when it’s the same movie? Let me know your thoughts.

you’re leaving us a bit in the dark…  
did you use the exact same names / folder structure when re-adding the movie? did you at some point since originally adding the movie change the agent of that library?
