New plex server update.. not ablet to add new movies

windows 7 with plex server, just did the new server update for plex, rebooted machine
now the server will not scrape the new movies added to the server
tried many different ways for name change and nothing…
TV shows … no problem
Music … no problem

example:
vamp (1986)
vamp [1986]
vamp
none of those will work… i even tried to rename to a movie like vacancy [2007], or vacancy (2007)… nothing… ideas???

Im shocked at how many issues each update is causing people… Ive stopped updating they havnt released a stable non-breaking update in a long time.

what they need to do is to release fix packs, not features just fixes… Most companies do updates that are fix packs then feature packs… separately

Would need to see the scanner and server logs from when you tried to add something to see why it was missed/ignored.

(Don’t use brackets for the year. Always use parenthesis. info in brackets is always ignored)

well it turns out that I am able to add new movies the same way i have been before, however for some reason plex does not recognize the movie VAMP 1986… no matter which way i format it… just does not see it

Try the Plex Dance
and name the file Vamp (1986) - (tt0092147).ext

nope… did not work… renamed it: Vamp (1986) - (tt0092147).mkv, then did the plex dance… this has been the only movie I have been unable to add to the plex media dashbaord

You could try to match it to TheMoviedatabase instead

Go into your library, then sort by Recently Added.
Maybe it was added under a different title?

Another idea: go into your library, activate the ‘Duplicates’ filter.
Then inspect the Plex info of these items.
It may have been recognized as a different version of an other movie.

no go either… i think it the file it self

I figured out what the issue was with the movie VAMP (1986)… plex was seeing it has Fright Night (1986)… was able to fix it within the plex app and now its showing as VampCapture
