1.) According to Plex naming conventions it should be “part1” and not “part 1”
2.) Never used the Dash and it worked. Will change my filenames. Thanks for bringing this up.

Thanks a lot for that ![]()
Works a treat! 108 movies, 100% hit rate with a few minutes. All matches correct.
Ubuntu 20.04, AMD Ryzen 3900.
I’m using a webhook in Plex against the TRAKT.TV scrobbler…
Awesome!!! Thank you so much for your work on this. It is very much appreciated.

These two are still goofy. They’re actually matched correctly and all of the other metadata is good, it’s only the titles that are wrong. The automatic collection is good too.
.../The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)/The Amazing Spider-Man (2012).mp4
.../The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)/The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014).mp4
No embedded metadata in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014).mp4?
I don’t think embedded file metadata is the problem. My original file has a couple of tags, but they match the file name and look correct.
Plex still applies the “Spiderman” title if I create an empty file with no tags: dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024k count=301 of="The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014).mp4"
This is what it looks like in “Match…” or “Fix Match …” - It’s “Spiderman” here too.
And it’s matching the right 2012 and 2014 movies. The other data pulled is correct.
The behavior seems similar to the previous title selection issues in the preview release. The old scanner/agent get these two correct. Both of these movies have something like this on IMDB:

Rather than read through 508 post I’ll just ask when is the test version going to be available to Arch and Arch based Distro users? Thanks
I suppose you’ll only get the regular answer with regards to Arch / Arch based distros:
Arch is not supported. Plex doesn’t package for Arch.
We both know PLEX works just fine on Arch distros. All the devs have to do in post instructions for doing so.
Just because something happens to work, doesn’t mean it’s officially supported. We list our officially supported platforms here: https://support.plex.tv/articles/200375666-plex-media-server-requirements/
I tried this and everything worked great except the release dates on the movies were all on January 1st of the year they were released, not the actual dates. Has anyone found a workaround for this? I tried switching the agents around and it would not update.
Hey everyone,
I’m closing this forum topic now as we’ve just released this officially to the new 1.20.0 beta. If you have any remaining libraries you were testing with it’s best to delete those and start fresh with the new beta.
I will also be disabling the new agent for the builds shared in this thread so you will no longer be able to create new libraries or scan in new items using the new agent. Please now use the new beta.
Also thanks so much to everyone who provided such amazing feedback here, it really does help tremendously!
