**Server Version#:** 4.59.2 **Server type:** [linuxserver/plex docker container](https://fleet.linuxserver.io/image?name=linuxserver/plex) **Player Version#:** 🤷‍♂️ (web browser, Firefox and Chrome latest versions) **tl;dr** Agents can’t find anything, not even triggering them manually (after confirming the existence of the movie/show in the respective agent) * * * I’m not sure what’s the issue, this some times works, other times doesn’t. Normally a few things worked: - restart the server - ensure `/etc/resolv.conf` has a nameserver (if not I would add `nameserver 1.1.1.1`) And retry both steps a couple of times. It was annoying, but would work some time. Currently, no matter what I do, it doesn’t seem to work at all. I’ve tried to inspect the web console logs, but there are so many warnings and some errors that I don’t even know where to start. If you have any idea what I can do to fix it, or anything for further debug, please let me know. **Logs:** [Plex Media Server.log](https://forums.plex.tv/uploads/short-url/v1jm4UzYF0d9iZaFCimLh9HPL6b.log) (8.4 MB) [com.plexapp.agents.imdb.log](https://forums.plex.tv/uploads/short-url/kecLc9L3GiRQU60hQaiT1GKuXld.log) (15.9 KB) [com.plexapp.system.log](https://forums.plex.tv/uploads/short-url/ovYHIRMklp90CuUh0Toz1QHegOc.log) (49.3 KB) [Plex Media Scanner.log](https://forums.plex.tv/uploads/short-url/lqt7ZES3qRdpAKC2rvhW0P0bJOr.log) (39.3 KB) [Plex Tuner Service.log](https://forums.plex.tv/uploads/short-url/sNwokQGXwc09gwuwBZYO2FoKePS.log) (1.8 KB) ---

How about the `Plex Media Server.log`? Your server not finding any matches could be linked to some network hiccup, e.g. between the container and your main network – or some requests being blocked on the host machine / router. ---

My bad, I though I added all. Updated the main topic, although they have different lenghs, as the `Plex Media Server.log` is for the full day ---

Looks like there’s an issue with the Anidb agent you’re using for your library. There’s a load of other errors but those appear to be linked to the failed Anidb agent ---

All of them were failing, they started working today, and I dunno why. But now that you mention, AniDB hasn’t work in a long time, I’ll try to find a new plugin for that. ---
