I was given this information to help fix the Show Dragon Ball that has an invalid plex database entry.

SwiftPanda: That show has a bad link in the Plex Database  
plex://show/5d9c0808ffd9ef001e98b2cc

```auto
<Guid id="imdb://tt0088509"/> <-- correct
<Guid id="tmdb://12609"/> <-- correct
<Guid id="tvdb://364072"/> <-- incorrect
<Guid id="tvdb://76666"/> <-- correct

```

Create a post on the Plex Forums with this info I provided and they can fix it.

I’ve been told this is fixed.  
Allow 24 hrs for caches to expire, then try again to match it and Refresh Metadata.
