Server Version#: Version 1.26.2.5797 on Docker I use a DVR to record The Late Show w/ Stephen Colbert, and though I’m properly naming the episodes, Plex is pulling the wrong episode number and metadata with no way to fix the episode number mismatch. The names and dates match TVDB identically, but …

Looks like Version 1.27.0.5897 fixed it after all – upgrading and doing the Plex Dance initially looked like it was making the same errors but letting it finish it appears to have correctly determined the episode numbers and the associated metadata. Looks solved!
