They are:
This is with the modern Plex Tv Shows agent. Episode ordering is selected to Themoviedb.org
I guess it is because they are of a sexual nature. They are however not marked as “adult” on TMDB (which is correct - they aren’t porn)
“Match adult titles” is disabled.
You should be able to turn Include adult back on, match them then turn it off and the metadata should stay.
Thanks. I guess that would work but it feels kind of hacky and I’d rather not.
Do you know why these shows won’t match?
I will say again that these shows are not marked as adult, nor should they be. I think this is an oversight of some kind.
Two of those is marked TVMA but i don’t think that is cause. ( the other one is not)
Our metadata team is not here at the moment to confirm but if i recall it is due to number of adult stars in them which is an used to identify adult titles.
We had an issue where some things that were porn were showing up due to not marked as adult, and it was a way to remove those titles.
Thanks for the explanation. I figured it was something like that.
But well, for these shows, it’s an oversight because they are not porn shows (despite them having porn actors). Do you think you can pass it along to the metadata team for manual removal from this filter later?
I’m not sure how the filters work but I will pass it along.
Most certainly not or more accurately not until we can completely turn off discover and all it’s endpoints within discover credits.
Problem will be that folks could find other content the cast is in via those plex features which within discover credits can’t be disabled (filmography / known for).
Hmm I guess I didn’t think of that. I wonder if it would be possible to only make porn actors not clickable 
otherwise this is probably an issue that can not easily be solved.
@BigWheel do you think something like that is possible? What I mean is that if an actor is marked as an adult actor, but the show is not, allow the show to be matched but the specific adult cast person not be clickable?
I can’t make any definitive statements about what is or or is not possible. I can only say I will pass along the concerns and your suggestions on how to rectify them.
Thinking about it, I think a working option would be to create a separate IMDB-style profile for any porn actor from their non-porn content.
I realize that trying to define a pure separation line here may be difficult-to-impossible, but if it’s viable, you could have non-porn movies/shows with working actor credits. But porn could be cordoned off since it isn’t the same “actor” as the one in the porno. Enabling “adult content” in Plex would allow a “link” between the non-porn profile and the porn profile to merge seamlessly.
While that idea would be ideal, I think it would be impossible on a technical level because where would Plex get that information from?
Well okay, while I’m typing, I guess this could be done by cross checking the shows/movies they are on that is not marked as adult and then build the separation from that.
The issue is that this would be error prone and as such be very risky for Plex, I suppose. Many things would slip through with this approach.
To be honest that’s why I would be fine with just blocking “clicking” a person tagged “adult” all together. It’s not ideal, no. But it would at least make a few perfectly valid shows be able to get matched. Blocking such shows altogether seems overzealous.
Actually I can think of a few “normal” movies with porn stars in them. Probably more shows too. It happens.
Yeah, as I said, difficult-to-impossible. Heck, this topic is here BECAUSE 3 shows that aren’t porn are not working BECAUSE they are marked as such.
It’d suck to have a person’s profile be un-usable because they are forever marked as “porn actor/actress” due to a handful of shows/movies or even just a single show/movie though.
These shows were marked as adult because a large percentage of their cast is marked as adult. I admit that’s not ideal and some movies and shows might be false positives but in our tests this rule was very effective in marking a ton of items that were otherwise not marked in Tmdb, so while we may end up tweaking that percentage we plan to keep this change regardless of Discover’s filmography feature.
What I recommend is using “Fix Match” for these shows. If you specify the exact Tmdb id matching will still work even though matching adult content is disabled for your library.
Thanks for the explanation. I totally understand that.
If I use the fix match method, will the show keep getting refreshed automatically as normal after that?
The show only needs to be matched once, after that new episodes will be added as normal without the need for any further intervention.
