"No Matches Found" when using new Plex Movie/Plex Series scanners

When I try to upgrade my library using the the new Plex Movie/Plex Series agents, nothing matches. I also get “No Matches Found” if I try to match with a manual search.

This happened once before and I solved the problem by going back to the “legacy” agents (“Plex Movie Scanner”/“Plex Series Scanner” scanners w/ “The Movie Database” agent); this fixed my problem. After a few weeks, I tried the new agents again and they worked for several months, until a few days ago, they stopped finding matches again.

Server Version: 1.32.7.7621
Windows 10 Pro 22H2

Those do not appear to be all the logs just a bunch of the legacy agent logs. Not even the Plex Media Server.log files are there.

I attempted to give clean logs by deleting them before sending. I switched back to the “new” agents, and have attached new logs; hopefully they contain what is needed. Thanks!

OK can you take a screenshot of your edit library => add folders screen?

I’m getting the same thing. both on my synology plex server and win10 server. I think it started yesterday 11/24.

A) Both your naming and file structure do NOT follow the standard
B) Have you tried restarting the server?

this was just an example, this movie has been in my collection for 2 years. matched up before. now i get this with everyone of my titles, regardless of my naming. prior to yesterday, all movies matched to something, even if it was wrong because of my naming.

Just tried something since i have 2 servers. The win10 instance seems to be working fine with matches. Its my Synology server that is not.

I had a previous bad copy of Godzilla, it was with.avi. Been on the server for several years. Ripped a better version and name it Godzilla (2014).mp4. Still no match. My synology server is for movies only, whereas my win10 has Series (TV shows) and what I get from my broadcast tuner. Match is working fine on the win10 server

Can you restart plex on your syno?

didn’t think to try that as i did a nas reboot yesterday, but, darn. that fixed it.

There is a known issue currently with the matching system where it just dies and requires a server reboot. (Note I asked for that in the post prior too)

I had rebooted the server (Windows PC) before posting this issue, and it did not seem to solve the problem. Just now, however, a reboot seems to have cleared it up.

Thanks for the help, @dbirch.

How do you reboot Plex through the Synology NAS? Thanks

edit Glad I came across this thread. Been tearing my hair out for weeks because the Metadata hasn’t been working. Now sorted by rebooting Plex on my Synology drive. Thanks everyone.
