General Discussions Plex Features

If you look at MacGyver, the show year and description show the 1985 info but the cast and episodes show the 2016 info.

Conviction does the same thing.Year and description are 2006 while cast and episodes are 2016.

It’s a known issue and Plex is bringing it up with Gracenote who it providing the EPG.

Ah, okay. I didn’t see it anywhere when I looked.

Thanks.

im having same issue. I have both original complete series and getting 2016 version. Even though the folders are different it mashes them up together.Hopefully this can be fixed soon before the new episodes for 2016 starts up agaon

A dutch tv series Hunted S02 2017 is recognized as some US tv show with the same name Hunted S01 2017.

How to correct this so future recordings are classified correctly?

And if there is a workaround … can i also use it to record a channel that Plex has no EPG for?

The same seems to be true with the remake of Porridge

Similar /different issue in Chicago. Channels changed their call number, but the EPG has not been updated. … so all recordings are in correct.

I’ve got the same deal with recording Home and Away in Australia on Channel 7. The Plex EPG shows “Season 1, Episode 11” for tonight, when fact tonight’s show is Season 31, Episode 13.

I could almost look over this, but the metadata gets replaced as well. In the EPG, while it has the incorrect Season/Episode, the description of the episode IS correct, but once the recording has finished, the metadata is replaced with the Season 1 metadata and so it’s all wrong.

Does the problem stem from the EPG data from Gracenote? or is there a formatting issue in the data provided which Plex is not interpreting correctly?

There should be a feature added to manually “map” over this issue with some sort of translation/replacement file.

This is an old thread, but i’m specifically replying to this because the “problem was being fixed” and it’s obviously not that easy, especially if it affect many different television shows.

is there any way i can manually work around the problem? or a way to report the issue to Gracenote?

cheers, wizdude.

yeah mate, does the same for Blind Date in AU, matches some random Chinese show, i can record it, however the metadata is all wrong, this thread stated 2 years ago, surely a fix is in by now? why cant we just manually map it like the incorrect match in TV and Movie libraries…
