With the release of Plex Media Server 1.22.0 today you’ll now have a new Plex TV Series (BETA) option under Agent for TV libraries. This option will not yet be the default for new libraries but we would like to give you the option of trying it out and providing us with feedback while it’s in beta. …

[image] drzoidberg33: Hey all, we’ve made a change to use TVDB as the primary source for the show titles. We found their titles to be more consistent with what people expect and it solves our disambiguation issue without us having to do additional work on this. I really like this …

I am currently not using the new Plex TV agent yet (I’m following this thread tho to see how the new Plex TV agent is developing), but in my TV shows library (using the old agent) I have made all the season names in Norwegian. And the English name for “Specials” (yea, thats a weird choice, I know …

[image] anon5074910: I see the Marvel shows now have the prefix of Marvel's which they did not have before. That I personally wouldn’t like for myself. I’d consider that confusing since users looking for Daredevil will assume it isn’t there because they didn’t scroll to “Marvel’s Daredevil” e…

I would think most users would use the search function to look for a show they don’t see right of. But if it is not your personal preference then you could edit the title of the show to your liking.

[image] VTron21: use the search function True, and that’s what I’d do at a keyboard input option (Desktop, iPad, etc) but on set-top-boxes using search doesn’t feel as convenient as clicking up/down a list. [image] VTron21: you could edit the title of the show Yup. Exactly. I just ren…

From: [image] On Deck, Continue Watching & Recently Added It’s no longer beta from 1.22.3. In the next PMS update it comes with a new bundled web version which will show the “Upgrade matching” option. For now you can just change the agent manually if you want to upgrade. I have a new Test Li…

[image] drzoidberg33: I’d suggest nuking the test library first, then upgrading the main library if you wish to do so. Nothing is forcing to upgrade now however if you don’t want to. I have a test library because I’m not willing to migrate an entire Plexiverse of TV Shows to an agent that cle…

With the revelation that this scanner is considered by Plex employees as no longer beta and ready for the show … and this thread has gotten pretty large… will there be a more official statement and hand off beyond a new buried support article and a comment in an unassociated thread? Maybe some sort …

No worries. I’m personally happy with the state of the agent otherwise I wouldn’t have been comfortable making it the default now for new libraries. We’ve closed out all the big issues and only have a few smaller issues that will get ironed out going forward.

Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files

From:

I have a new Test Library using the new agent for a few hundred episodes in a small gathering of shows.

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM have no history - all unwatched - All Virgin Media.

I’m not doing that with 500+ Shows/12,600+ Episodes to get things migrated to the new agent. Period.

IF at some point I’m able to migrate the entire library without any of the pain and suffering - that’s what I want to do.
