The TMDB ID is not needed. Did the [plex dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064), removed the test files, emptied trash, cleaned bundles to ensure it’s been cleared out and did the match again.

Neither of your updated naming matches what I shared, even without the id.

Here’s how I have the test file/folder named:

Without Explicit Content matching enabled in the library settings, can’t find a match:

With Explicit Content matching enabled, finds the match and provides metadata:
