Missing movies

[oisincarpenter]

There is a copy of parasite in my plex movie folder but its not appearing in plex. i did have another copy which i deleted as the subs were bad. any idea why the new copy isnt showing in plex? i also noticed my movies folder has 896 movies but plex is only showing 872
ive optimize the database and cleaned the bundles and searched for new file and also metadata

Look at trying the Plex Dance.

The Plex Dance ™

The purpose of this is to remove all cached metadata and xml data for an item that Plex usually keeps. This helps when you want to “start from scratch” for particular item move all files for the media item out of the directory your Library is looking at, so Plex will not “see” it anymore scan the library library (to detect changes) empty trash clean bundles (in menu next to server name, when accessed under ‘More’) double check naming schema and move files back scan the library Support articl…

that seemed to work for parasite but there still 24 movies now showing up. any way to figure out which ones are missing?

[SE56]

I would suggest checking off movies in one window/Plex posters to a window containing your collection Directory

Thanks, parsite movie that i moved back into to my movies folder doesnt seem to be getting any metadata. might that be the reason it wasnt showing up before or link to not getting metadata some how?
I also created a new test movie folder in plex and put the movie in it and it also not getting metadata. the folder is named parasite (2019) and file is also

I also created a new test movie folder in plex and put the movie in it and it also not getting metadata. the folder is named parasite (2019) and file is also
Parasite (2019)
Parasite 2019.mkv

Enable Local assets and I like Movie database for Plex movie. Click on the cog to the right.

With Plex Movie Enable all

Restart Plex and refresh your metadata of that file from the poster ellipsis

[oisincarpenter]

which tab are you talking about?

the second screen show was wrong it must not have updated when i took the screen shot here are the settings it was and it

[oisincarpenter]

i enabled this and now its finding the meta data for that movie

Cheers, glad to hear it

[oisincarpenter]

thanks for your help. so the only way to find the missing 24 movies is to cross reference my plex movies and my movies download folder?

the latest star wars is behaving the same

[oisincarpenter]

putting in the () on the year seems to let plex see it. my of my movies dont seem to have () in the year and plex sees them alright

[SE56]

So your all sorted now?

[oisincarpenter]

added the () doesnt seem to to work for all of the missing movies
most movies above the blue line are missing still
