How are the problematic files named?
Are you using a proper folder structure, as required above?
Try this:
preparation:
Go to
Settings - Server - Agents - Shows - TheTVDB
In there, grab the line âLocal Media Assetsâ with your mouse and drag it downwards, so it ends up being at the bottom of the stack of active agents.
Repeat the same under
Settings - Server - Agents - Shows - TheMovieDatabase
Settings - Server - Agents - Movies - Plex Movie
Settings - Server - Agents - Movies - TheMovieDatabase
Thank you so much for your reply. I am sure you get the same questions over and over and over. I am new to this and it is a new âlanguageâ to me, so I appreciate your patience.
I did follow the naming conventions and directory structures from the Plex Server Forum. So that was helpful.
With regard to your recommendation below, after dragging the âLocal Media Assets (TV)â down to the bottom, do I also select each agent? If not, which agents do I select, since I will be repeating this process as you suggest above before I do the Plex Dance?
If you have all these lines âuncheckedâ, their order doesnât matter anymore.
However, if you want Plex to provide you automatically with the theme song of the tv show, you want to enable the âPlex Theme Musicâ agent.
(This theme song will play whenever you navigate into this tv show. Needs to be explicitly enabled in your plex clientâs preferences)
If you want Plex to go out and download additional artwork for you to select from, activate Fanart.tv (particularly helpful if your library language is not English)
If you want Plex to fetch additional metadata from TheMovieDatebase, in cases where TheTVDB doesnât have them, enable TheMovieDatabase.
Thank you for your help. I am slowly learning how Plex reacts to certain things around Metadata, so this was a good lesson for me. I appreciate your patience!
