[BUG] Bad Show Title Match: Azure Lane

Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files
1

The spinoff show “Azure Lane: Queen’s Orders” ( Azur Lane: Queen's Orders (TV Series 2023-2023) — The Movie Database (TMDB) ) is matching as “Debbe Dunning’s Dude Ranch Roundup” ( Debbe Dunning's Dude Ranch Roundup (TV Series 2017–2021) - IMDb ).

The folder itself is named “Azur Lane Queen’s Orders (2023) {tmdb-231502}”, and it had no issues matching in the older tmdb agent, but it recently started showing the title+description+release date of this other show instead.

And strangely enough not only are episode titles and cover art still the correct ones, but if I go to “fix match” and search for “Azur Lane” it does find itself (albeit under the Dude title). So it must still know the actual correct title of the show somewhere, it just has decided to show some other show’s title instead.

Someone over on TMDB inserted a wrong External ID for this show, which pointed to “Debbe…” on TheTVDB.
(“Azur Lane: Queens Orders” only exists as a “movie” on TheTVDB, but it is obvious that this is merely the two episodes concatenated)

I’ve removed that external ID, but it can take several days before the change travels into Plex.

So it’s been a couple of months now and the show still has the wrong title even when searched for. Is there a way for someone to manually clear that out or force a refresh on the Plex side?

TheTVDB has Queen’s Orders listed as OVAs of Azur Lane in the Specials season.
Maybe that is a solution for you? アズールレーン - Unknown - Specials - TheTVDB.com

Perform the Plex Dance with the OVA files, to be on the safe side.
