[BUG] Plex Metadata Agents: Plex Series does not detect some TV shows

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops

Server Version#: 1.41.8.9834

This Basque TV series: El conquistador del fin del mundo, your metadata agent does not identify it and ignores it.

But if I use an agent like TVDB, which is much more extensive and precise than yours, I get the annoying message:

This library currently uses a legacy agent to match elements and obtain artwork and other metadata.
…
Support for these legacy agents will end soon, at which time items in these libraries will no longer receive metadata. It is advisable to upgrade these libraries now to avoid disruption.

Along with this nice alert on my Plex server:

I believe your metadata agent is not ready to replace the extensive TMDB and TVDB databases, especially when it comes to local or non-mainstream series and films. But you are determined to the contrary, why? You will know.

I think you should rethink about removing those metadata agents or rely on them when your agent doesn’t find anything.

Everything that appears on watch.plex.tv should also be match-able on a Plex personal media server, using the modern agent https://watch.plex.tv/en-GB/show/el-conquistador-del-fin-del-mundo

I just tested it with some fake files and it matched as expected.
Both with metadata language set to English and Spanish.
