Meta data for some foreign language movie is not fetched by meta.plex.tv

Server Version#:1.91
Player Version#: NA

Hi guys, my question is not really with plex server but more on service meta.plex.tv. IMDB entry of

  1. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12200652/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 does return the right movie within IMDB itself but Plex is not able to find the info. Yes. Proper naming schema followed for directory naming.

  2. I thought must be as it’s a foreign language movie… so I tried to manually match it using id 12200652 in the title with match function… that too returned no match…

  3. Then I decided to go to the source itself…
    https://meta.plex.tv/m/12200652//?lang=en&ratings=1&reviews=1&extras=1

This returns

<Error statusCode="404" error="Not Found" message="Not Found"/>

I wonder why? There are some other movies in the same language that Plex finds… but many many others - it does not. Example of a same language movie it finds is

https://meta.plex.tv/m/5628156/?lang=en&ratings=1&reviews=1&extras=1 Meta data for this is auto pulled in Plex with no intervention required.

Can anybody please tell me how can I have this fixed.

Regards,

I’ve had very little success using IMDb as my agent so… Not much I can say there but… The movie Bhannat Bhanu is not listed at TheMovieDb.org. Try and search for the movie using Plex Movie. I believe it scans both resources.

Thanks for reply trumpy81. But in that case none of the Marathi movies would match via imdb right? That’s not the case. about 10% movie match on their own just on the titles… The rest don’t… I compared the one match and one did not on their language too… both list language as Marathi in imdb.

I am fine if it does not match auto… but when I got to fix match and specifically provide the movie id in title field at least then it should fetch the data… that’s all I expect…

Thanks again for the response.

Hello NewPlaza. Thanks for your reply. I am searching using Plex Movie itself. That fails. Just want to highlight the fact that I observed that meta.plex.tv is not returning this movie even if one gives direct moviedbid and search it manually in url. I think issue is not with plex server it may be in the implementation of search logic in meta.plex.tv.

Below returns no results.

I don’t need auto match logic to work… I just need plex to get info when I specifically give imdbid in title and match manually. ( limited expectations right? :slight_smile: )
