Some of my video files didn’t update fully and correctly, so I tried to fix by matching with exact imdb ID using plex movie agent. Nothing is updating to my video file even though it downloaded metadata. This is just one example. I have several video files with same issue even-if Plex agents contains rich metadatas. Please review my attached screenshots.
That is not my issue. I am able to find exact movie in search. When i click , it downloads metadata but it’s not adding metadata to the files. See the screenshot attached above.

In that case, try another match (if there is more than one) or switch to another database. Instead of using the agent “Plex Movie” in the search options dialogue, try using the agent ‘The Movie Database’.
Not all matches actually have metadata associated with them at the online databases. Unfortunately, there is generally no way to correct that unless you have access/membership to the online databases and are able to edit the entries there.
You can go to the respective forums and inform the powers that be, that the metadata is missing or not being served when requested, but other than that your hands are tied.
Of course, there maybe other causes for this issue, so if the above fails, do the Plex dance with the Movie:
Remove offending files from your Plex Media Folder. (Make sure Plex is not aware of the files)
Update Library (Not ‘Refresh All’)
Optimise Database
Clean Bundles
Empty Trash
Replace offending files into your Plex Media Folder.
Update Library
…
Let each step complete before moving to the next step. Then, when step 7 has completed, grab your Plex logs by clicking on the download logs button in Plex settings->server->help and then attach them here please.
I thought new plex update will resolve this issue. I am still having the same issue. I can find exact match via search. It downloads the metadata and finishes but it doesn’t load /attaches the metadata to the files. Plz help!
I have attached my server logs. please help! Issue is not solved yet. I can find exact match via search. It downloads the meta-data and finishes but it doesn’t load /attaches the meta-data to my video files.
