The Plex agent is unable to identify this movie because the link is down.

I don’t know if I posted this in the wrong place, I apologize.
Can you link to what the movie should be matching to? E.g. an IMDB or TMDB link?
Sure:
It should be clarified that it was released as a miniseries, but later it was released as a unified movie in Bible Stories Collection [Blu-ray].
In fact, all the other movies in the saga are like that, and I haven’t had any problems. Actually, I scanned this movie a few months ago, and I didn’t have any problems either.
Correct. Both IMDB and TMDB list is a TV series.

You must put this in a TV library, it won’t match correctly in a movie library.
That’s not true. I repeat, I analyzed this same item a few months ago and had no issues; it was analyzed correctly. Today, I moved files from my library and when re-analyzing the movies, everything was correct except for that one. For example, this movie was also a miniseries but was combined into a movie when it was remastered on Blu-ray:

I haven’t had a problem with this one, but with the other one I have, because as I mentioned, the Plex database link is down.
It seems that someone has tampered with something they shouldn’t have and marked it as a TV series. Here, all the movies from the collection appear, and only Moses has two dates:
Plex retrieves its metadata from other sources like IMDB, TMDB, etc. If those sources all say it’s a TV series then we’ll see it as a TV series too.
What likely happened here is somebody probably created an entry for this item as a movie on TMDB but it was removed after a while because TMDB (and other sites) have very specific rules how things should get classified. So it showed up on our side until it was removed there which also removes it on our end.
I actually just found the exact page where this item was reported on TMDB as being a duplicate: Reported Problem for Moses - Talk — The Movie Database (TMDB)
This goes against TMDB’s rules: New Content - New Content Bible — The Movie Database (TMDB)
Content NOT allowed in the Movie section:
- TV movies originally released in two parts. They should be added to the TV section as miniseries.
- Miniseries
- exception: a few miniseries screened in full at a film festival or as a film in theater are still allowed.
- Films originally released as a web series or as a season of a web series.
- Multi-series crossover events. Each episode should be added only to its respective TV series.
" * exception: a few miniseries screened in full at a film festival or as a film in theater are still allowed."
This is exactly what we’re talking about; otherwise, they would have to edit absolutely all the movies I mentioned before that are exactly like this. Now we know that it was the TMDB user who reported it, and he made the unfortunate mistake.
If you feel this is an error on their part then your only recourse is to use the Report function on TMDB
That’s what I’ll do, thank you.
