Movie: Hong Tian Bang Jia Da Fu Hao (1999)
Movie ID: tt1884328

Hi, got a movie that I’m trying to match but Plex just cannot find no matter what. Originally downloaded as Big Spender but couldn’t find it on IMDb, then found out IMDb has it in its database under the title mentioned above. I changed file name, searched both the title and id in Match but all failed.

I’m starting to collect Chinese movies for my in-law so likely going to run into this again in the future. If anyone can try it out and able to get it to work, please show me how.

Thank you.

Name the file
Hong tian bang jia da fu hao (1999) - (tt1884328).ext
Perform the Plex Dance

If your file is in mp4/m4v format, do this before re-adding the file into the library:
Go to

• Settings - Server - Agents - Shows - TheTVDB

In there, grab the line ‘Local Media Assets’ with your mouse and drag it downwards, so it ends up being at the bottom of the stack of active agents.
Repeat the same under

• Settings - Server - Agents - Shows - TheMovieDatabase
• Settings - Server - Agents - Movies - Plex Movie
• Settings - Server - Agents - Movies - TheMovieDatabase

Thank you for the reply.

Unfortunately, it did not work. I’ve performed those steps before except putting the movie id in the file name as well. I followed the instructions and did everything again to make sure. The issue with this is that Plex Movie agent not able to come up with it for some reason. I performed the search for both the movie title and id and not showed up in the result. I then did the same for some other movies and they showed up fine, whether by title or by id.

No match with Auto Match (Plex Movie agent).

Then you will have to match it to the Personal Video agent and put in the description yourself.

Simply add the movie to themoviedb.com.
Then plex will be able to match it. Here is a pic you can add to themoviedb.

Let’s hope its the correct one. lol!

Thank you! That’s exactly what I needed, as having movie casts is important to me.
