I put the movie Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse.mkv into my folder. When I click update libraries the movie is not showing up. I tried adding (2018) at the end but nothing shows up. Is there a specific name I need to change it to?

From my understanding Plex uses the movie database to fetch meta data.

So you would need to name the folder and the file the same way

" /Movies/MovieName (release year)/MovieName (release year).ext" https://support.plex.tv/articles/naming-and-organizing-your-movie-media-files/

So you would need to name the folder and the file:

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) — The Movie Database (TMDB)

With the mkv file still maintaining the .mkv extension.

You need each movie to have its own folder, you can’t just have the files in your movie root folder.

also… not 100% what you mean by

Make sure to use the Scan Library Files option from the library’s context menu.

I looked in my library and it’s there, but not showing up as Recently added in Movies. I am not sure why; when I just added it.

If you recently added / changed a lot of stuff, it might help to optimize the database (Settings > [Server Name] > Manage > Troubleshooting > Optimize Database).
