I have problem getting metadata from movies that are listed as TV movies or mini-series. Like “if tomorrow comes” “brotherhood of the rose” “The Langoliers” etc.
I know the problem is that IMDB see these as mini-series. But is there a way to go around this problem. Copying the metadata and add it somehow? There are alot of smart users on Plex, havent someone made a solution to this problem?
Server Version#: 4.76.1
Player Version#: 4.76.1
Plex cannot fetch metadata for a movie, if it is listed as a series.
Thanks for the answer, but only one out of ten worked this way.
So there is nothing to do if TNDB and IMDB have listed it as a TV show? Isnt there anyone who made a plugin or anything to fix this?? I cant have movies in my TV show app 
I dont have to match. I can put in the metadata by myself, but arent able to add actors, otherwise i could go that way instead. It must be some way to fix this, Plex is perfect in all ways and this seems like a very easy thing to fix??
What’s wrong with listing a mini-series / tv movie that originally aired as serial in a tv-show library?
You can include cast members to the embedded metadata of a file an Plex will pick that up from a mp4/m4v/mov file. Though if you solely rely on local/embedded metadata, Plex will treat cast members as separate entities vs. the same person listed in an “online matched” movie/show.
I dont understand why anyone would like to have a 3h long movie listed as a tv show. The problem is that they are seperated so if I search for ex Tom Berenger movies, then i wont find “If tommorow comes” because its listed as a tv show. Strange I am the only one who see this as a big problem.
I could fix the problem if i could add actors, but like you said, it doesnt work for some reason. I can add writers, director, date etc, but to add actors i must create a new actor, not add a actor from the list.
I thought there were someone smart out there who had fixed these issues. Plex is so smart in every other ways and everything is almost perfect.
I have to ask about two other issues. When i search for a thriller/comedy i have to check both thriller and comedy, but then every trhillers AND comedys shows, not Thriller/comedy. Is there any fix for this?
And lately it comes up you have to login to see subtitles on opencource. Login where. I am logged in on Plex so i dont know what to do to see the subtitles
You could use an advanced filter to look for items that meet both criteria.
Sounds like you might be using a third-party plug-in with your server that requires a separate login with a subtitle site (maybe from a legacy library)
Advanced filter worked well.
I only login to Plex and open the sub there, no plug-ins
