@dbinott I got mine working, from a suggestion of @ChuckPa

I’ll quote it below, but basically I had to change my agent to include The Movie Database, and have it as a higher priority than Freebase.

> 1. Check the actual file names for non-UTF 8 characters.
> 2. Make sure the names are correctly named (this is pretty much given since you’re getting something )

> 1. Move media out of where Plex is looking for it
> 2. Update the Library (let it finish)
> 3. Empty Trash
> 4. Clean Bundles (let it finish)
> 5. Move files back in and watch as they are picked up
> 6. Update the Library
> 
> If you’re still not getting full data, we’ll need to see the PMS Plug-ins logs to see what is really going on with it.
