Place it in an Other Videos library so Plex will not try to match it to a movie.

[image] jcdonelson21: There are other videos that I’ve made in the folder where this didn’t happen Then those were not matched because their titles were too different from any existing movies. or if they are MP4’s and your movie library is set to “Prefer local metadata” it will use the embed…

I renamed it - fixed the problem. Thanks for the hint.

[image] jcdonelson21: So this has happened to you before? Something getting matched incorrectly happens to everyone sometimes. 90% of the time it is due to folks naming their files incorrectly. But that is naming real movies incorrectly not adding non-movies to a movie library. As mentioned …

Well, I really appreciate all this i’ll check into those various options. I really just tried the rename to see if it would affect anything. Certainly no offense to you but you know there’s a lot of crappy information out there. Thanks for taking the time to tell me all this much appreciated

So I have all my videos in a sub folder called mine I sent that to other videos thanks again

There are other videos that I’ve made in the folder where this didn’t happen
