Unable to find match for documentary

Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files

I’m try to add a documentary, specifically the History of the Eagles. When I tried it as a movie there is no match and I am not sure what directories/filename to use to add it as a TV show. I find it no problem on IMDB, TVDB and moviedb

Plex cannot match documentaries to IMDB. If Plex Movies is the default for your library, you’ll have to change the agent to TheMovieDB and do a manual match.

TMDB has it listed as a TV Show Miniseries - and locked it down.

You have two options:

  1. Put it in a TV Show Library as episode one:
A TV Show Library/
......History of the Eagles/
........Season 01/
...........History of the Eagles - S01E01 - BlaBlaBla.xxx

    and Hand Edit. <—right there were it is in the Movie Library.
    (you can copy and paste everything right from TMDB into the edit in a moment and be done with it)

They have it listed as a Show and a Movie at TVDB, but I’d stick with the Show Version, 'cause I can almost guarantee Plex hasn’t learned how to do a TVDB Movie - and neither have I:

As far as Documentaries go TMDB is the only place to go - as far as this Documentary goes - it’s a TV Show. Bummer.
