Why my plex server wont download any metadata and won't add any subtitles

Hello

My problem is simple. Plex server won’t download any movie / tv show metadata or recognize basically any subtitles, subtitles are working only movies/tv show where are they added into the file. Even not subzero subtitles won’t download any subs.
My every movie/tv show page looks like this http://i.imgur.com/UjwEks1.png

OS: Debian linux
Server ver: 1.1.4.2757
Movies-Plex Movie agent settings: http://i.imgur.com/XSou4lC.png
Shows-The TVDB agent settings: http://i.imgur.com/M4UFs2t.png
Movie library settings: Part 1 http://i.imgur.com/9u3oifB.png Part 2 http://i.imgur.com/Yo3Yn6f.png

If i need to give more info about config then ask.

Looks like you have movies and TV shows in the same folder. I see you have 2 separate libraries, 1 for movie and 1 for TV, but they both point to the same location. In your screen shot of Prisoners, I see in your log when you updated your TV library, it found that file and tried to match it. When you then try to update it in your movie library, it saw that it had already tried to match so it isn’t trying again.

You need to separate out your movies and TV shows into different folders and have the libraries point to the correct location.

Hmm yes u are correct all stuff is /torrent folder tv and movies
Torrent downloads them to the same folder.

I try to make test folders and separate them

Okay, sorted movies and tv shows to separate folder. But nothing much changed :confused:

Maybe plex finds some subtitles more but 0 metadata

Your PMS is probably reusing the data from before. You need to clear your agent cache. There is a support article that explains how to do it if you don’t know. Sorry, I’m on a mobile device right now and can’t provide a link.

In case you haven’t found the link to the support article. Here it is:
Clearing Plugin/Channel/Agent HTTP Caches

No, still not working :S

I added fresh log’s to this post also, maybe helps.

I would recommend setting up 2 folders with a setup similar to this

/TV Shows
/Grey’s Anatomy
/Season 01
Grey’s Anatomy - S01E01.mkv
Grey’s Anatomy - S01E02.mkv
Grey’s Anatomy - S01E03.mkv
/Season 02
Grey’s Anatomy - S02E01.mkv
Grey’s Anatomy - S02E02.mkv
Grey’s Anatomy - S02E03.mkv

/The Walking Dead
/Season 01
The Walking Dead - S01E01.mkv
The Walking Dead - S01E02.mkv
The Walking Dead - S01E03.mkv

/Movies
/Jaw (1975)
Jaws (1975).mkv

/Spaceballs (1987).mkv
Spaceballs (1987.mkv)

Make sure to add the year of the movies to the movies

Already doing it with filebot. Lets see how it ends.

Still no luck. 0 Metadata

Example movie. Everything should be right.
/torrent/Media/Movies/13 Hours The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (2016)/13 Hours The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (2016).mkv

Try doing a Plex Dance

move all files for the show out of ‘sight’ of plex
update library (‘not force update’ not ‘Refresh all’)
empty trash
clean bundles
double check naming schema and move files back
update library
in this order

also doing a google search on that movie shows it listed as just 13 hours

try doing it as 13 hours (2016)

Moved away movies from plex folder. Updated library, nothing happens. Just says unavailable http://i.imgur.com/uMLzwqM.png
But plex wont delete them library.

But when i moved tv shows away from folder that plex scans then everything was deleted like it should

Okay now i did again exactly like u told but no success :frowning:

Its saying downloading metadata but nothing appears, no posters, no trailers, nothing

EDIT: Installed plex on my windows pc, added thru network exactly same folder like in my linux plex and there all things work.
Seems to be “matching” part is broken in my main plex server.

For your example of Brick, this is in your log.

1 - You are not using the right naming convention.
2 - I don’t know why the movie is 4 folders deep, although this shouldn’t matter
3 - Your PMS thinks it’s already in there so maybe you didn’t clear the cache properly. I forgot to mention, after clearing the cache, you need to click on “refresh” for the library. You can start with just 1 movie to see if it works, then refresh the entire library

I don’t see that movie in your log, so I can’t tell why that isn’t working. But the movies I do see in your log are not named correctly.

That folder /torrent/media is not even the folder that your library is looking in. Do you possibly have your library pointing at the wrong location? Right now it is pointing at torrent/Movies

There are mess now in this thread. I have tried so many things and logs are from different state. Its pointing in right folder.
Plex Movies are configured to /torrent/Media/Movies
Plex TV Shows are configure to /torrent/Media/TV Shows/

Okay. lets start from beginning.
Random 3 movies Nightcrawler, Now You See Me 2, Sicario
Placed into /torrent/Media/Movies where also Plex Movie Library is pointed http://i.imgur.com/nMKyAsM.png
Folder structure http://pastebin.com/1EzmZhLC
Everything is correct. Nothing. http://i.imgur.com/tl1nHxu.jpg

For testing, I have created samba share that points to the same folder /torrent/Media/Movies/, mounted that on my windows PC and added freshly installed Windows Plex server Movie Library.
Voilaa, in windows works with exactly same structure exactly same files! http://i.imgur.com/vnqZOq9.jpg but not on main plex linux server.

Added fresh logs to this post also.

Do you have multiple movie libraries where the folders they point to may be overlapping.

Skipping over directory ‘Sicario (2015)’, as nothing has changed; removing 1 media items from map.
Skipping over directory ‘Now You See Me 2 (2016)’, as nothing has changed; removing 1 media items from map.
Skipping over directory ‘Nightcrawler (2014)’, as nothing has changed; removing 1 media items from map.
Your PMS thinks these 3 movies already exist in your collection so it’s reusing the data.

Call up the XML for any item in your collection, it will look something like this:

https://IP:port/library/metadata/84767?checkFiles=1&includeExtras=1&X-Plex-Token=xxxx

Replace the highlighted part with “sections?” and post the output. That will list all your libraries including where they point to.

EDIT: I investigated my logs and found many many HTTP 401 response from GET, that means unauthorized.
Something is wrong when server tries to connect http://127.0.0.1:32400/system/agents/ always gets 401

I think you might have typed something wrong. Can you post what you used? You can cover the front and end like I did in my example.

Those 401 errors are for your TV Show library. That’s probably a different issue not related to your movies.

https://192-168-1-211.xxxxx.plex.direct:32400/library/sections?X-Plex-Token=Vxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

That looks right so I don’t know why you don’t get any results. How many libraries do you have? If not too many, can you list where each points to?
