Embedded metadata in mp4/m4v files can cause a “mismatch” with the item appearing in a place you’d never expect.
Make sure that your files have either no content in their embedded ‘Title’ metatags or configure Plex to disregard them, like so:
Go to
- Settings - Server - Agents - Shows - TheTVDB
In there, grab the line ‘Local Media Assets’ 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
After doing that, go to point 4)

A “movie” library which uses the “Plex Movie” metadata agent, will usually not be able to match live concerts, documentations or ‘tv movies’.
I recommend you to separate all non-movie items out and create a separate library for them, which uses the ‘TheMoviedatabase’ agent instead. Because there you can find live concerts and docus and direct-to-video releases. https://www.themoviedb.org/

After renaming video files or sorting them into subfolders, in order to get them recognized better by Plex, you might have to clear out a mismatch from Plex’s database by performing the Plex Dance
