Why doesn’t Plex fix a match when i find it. I have to do it manually. Example King Gizzard new album isn’t matched automatically. I do the fix match and bam it pops up but i select it and nothing happens. What gives am i doing something wrong.
My guess judging by your screenshot that it’s processing other stuff.
See the icon to the left of the wrench (settings) on the menu bar. It’s half yellow circle means it’s doing stuff so won’t do any manual fix matching etc… until its complete.
Its sonically analyzing album i do believe. Ive been doing to plex dance with this album and never auto matches
Oh sorry, more complicated than I thought it might be.
Are you tagging the files yourself or relying on plex for metadata? Plex server logs might be helpful after your plex dance.
Ive ran it through tagscanner and picard to no luck of matching.
Wondering if it’s so new it’s not correctly on the systems yet.
It’s very new, but it’s already on Musicbrainz, and it matched immediately into my library without having to tag the files with Picard, using only a standard set of tags and properly named files. The cover art is amazing.

Ya ive done everything and it doesn’t auto match and even ■■■ match it shows but doesn’t fix anything
They loaded that thing up with commas … 
On my test server you can see the proper file and directory names.
My music library is set to use /NMusic on my NVME.
When you make changes,
- move the Album folder out from where PMS can see it
- rename the folder and files correctly.
- Plex Dance (scan library files, empty trash, clean bundles, optimize db)
- move the folder back into your Music library.
- Scan Library Files.
Let us know how it goes.
Wonder if that’s a factor? Haven’t used Windows in years so can’t remember if it has problems with them 
Punctuation marks like commas, periods, exclamation marks and semicolons work okay in Windows in my experience. Can’t use the punctuation marks or symbols that Windows uses in file and directory commands like a colon, question mark, backslash though.
Edit: that only affects file and directory/folder names. Embedded metadata can have whatever you want - I’ve never ran into a problem.
