Am looking forward to the update - the collection of “garbage” is astounding; mis-matches are actually very limited as opposed to ‘unused’ graphics. When you’ve got a dozen graphics for one movie and only one is used, the overhead is phenomenal and NO, those aren’t removed.
I would suggest “replacement” for selections instead of “additions”.
As far as the particular item, The Grey Fox" not being matched, that is precisely what was returned by BOTH Plex Movie and The Movie Database, “No match”. But since you were able to readily match, I did some further investigating. I already parallel significant items with Emby which immediately lets me know if it is a program or systemic issue. Emby had no problem with that movie, so any issue had to relate to Plex and as I’ve further determined it is related to this particular installation of PMS (and this specific item itself).
As I have multiple servers (this one being the most current, and no I am not running 1.20+ as indicated by the first line of my post), I moved the movie to the “old” server (you don’t want to even know what version that one is running) and it matched immediately.
So, I have to attribute the dysfunction to what occurred on this server yesterday which is a whole 'nother issue; PLEX FAILURE to Connect / Stay connected to the Server WHERE IT RESIDES (probably too much reading, so the short version as it applies here is…)
The glitch which occurred that precipitated Plex thrashing its installation (due to the mis-connection) happened when working with THIS movie - relatively easy to determine the source of a problem once it is solved. Thank-you for the input - your being able to match prompted me to look further. Matching was accomplished on this server based on the info passed from the old server (“new” system is setup to work as a “master” catalog, passing info through a SMB share).
However, this does not address the issue of being ‘confined’ to the Plex and Movie databases; the basis of the post (without the specific example).
I think that FordGuy has done that with what he presents on the “additional info” that can be included with the “new agent”. The ability to use the unique identifier provided by IMDB (as available in the URL of their movie look-ups) may be of help.
Guess I need the “new agent” to see if I can resolve the 1/2 dozen or so movies that have never been matched.
Now, if I can just find the mis-matched movie or two among the THOUSANDS…
(Usually show-up in recently added, or in the case of Emby, posters in the movie folder that don’t match the movie - nope not there either; can you say f’ed again?)
Thanks for the input guys; I think this one got resolved.
(Wonder if we’re ever going to see a direct IMDB look-up or maybe it’s actually being done with the “new agent” on the “back-end”.)
