Why is Plex not matching my movies?!

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops

I too recently experienced the same behavior, so the bug is still lurking. That is, PLEX did not match movies that were properly named and had a corresponding entry in The Movie Database.

To correct this, I selected “Match,” “Search Options” and tried to change the Agent to something other than “The Movie Database.” For some reason, the Agent did not change, but a search of “The Movie Database” was initiated and the correct Match was returned with the search results.

I have no idea how or why this works for me, but it does. It’s also worth pointing out that this quirk only effected ±10% of my movies. The other 90% auto matched fine, without any input from me.

same exercise as always…

  • which agent?
  • how did you name your movies (files/folders)?
  • do you have local media assets prioritized in your agent settings and do those files have embedded metadata? (some apps add embedded titles which could refer to a disc code and the title id)

beyond that… please be more specific as for how they are being displayed…
