Mine doesn’t have that date, hmm (I set the name to 2023 manually)
I went by the date published in Wikipedia (may not be the most accurate 
)
This is what you’re [not] getting ?
Yeah just blank episodes, but with the rest of the show populated (description, cast & crew, TMBD rating, etc)
To avoid year issues, Is it better to state “Doctor Who - Series 14 issues” ?
This has nothing to do with 2005
I’ve tracked the following:
-vs-
Given PMS is not populating the episodes by TMDB default, I wrote a bug ticket.
As I said above I have tested the new series fully. The 2023-2024 Disney “soft reboot” works fine with the movie Db ordering not with Plex scanner or TVDB. TVDB specifically in Plex is showing two ids. One bad one that is non existent and the accurate causing episode data not to show. Not sure how clearer j can make my issue
I also provided screenshots of what it shows based on episode ordering
I did not bring up the old series or the 2005 because both operate as intended and have no issues.
This is not my issue. My issue has nothing to do with the movie db. It’s the TVDB ordering. Thst is wrong because you have two TVDBs for the show. The correct one 499xxx and some other one that doesn’t exist

Ah I’m glad its not just me, I’m using the TVDB DVD Order and the episodes appear but yeah not getting the correct metadata and just using a frame from episode as poster.

Nice to know you are a person that has attitude with everything. I have my folder exactly as yours. I have the episodes named properly. Plex has found the show no issues but with default Plex scanner ordering or TVDB it shows episode 1/2/3 not names. If you switch to TMDB ordering it works, so perhaps you should pay attention as a lot of others have the exact same problem where TMDB ordering works and displays episode names but TVDB does not and I’ve listed out why it doesn’t.
Well, just so there’s no confusion.
I have been using TVDB ordering ever since, and I just checked to ensure it is still TVDB ordering. And, like I said, everything worked smoothly.
Anyway, good luck to all of you who are having trouble with this.
Thank you and appreciate the good luck. For reference here is what happens if I set my specific Doctor Who show with the 499 TVDB in the folder to TVDB.
So its definitely a problem. I wish I knew how yours was able to work with such settings though because I would gladly do them in a heartbeat vs use TMDB airing for episode ordering as I use Plex Scanner as my default typically and it works fine for everything but this one show. 
As I requested with my first post …
If I am incorrect with anything Please show me… INCLUDE SPECIFICS / Links.
I will not accept partial answers of 499xxx , etc
There you go sir. See my post right above yours.
we typed at the same time … Thanks 
Here is my question:
What does The BBC list the date as? 2023 or 2024?
Can’t be both.
Anyone have access ?
Per the ERDI database, they list it as 2024. TVDB also lists it as 2024. They just call the show Doctor Who (2023).
Plex finds the show fine, using the TVDB ID of that 499 number. The problem is, there is another TVDB attached to this show (448305) that does not exist, that is on the plex end, not on the TVDB end. So plex runs the first one 448305 and finds no episodes therefore no titles, and doesnt check the 2nd one the 499 number which has the episodes.
TMDB doesnt have this problem and therefore it shows the episode naming properly.
Calling it “(2023)” is wrong.
IMDB shows 2024
I will ask the metadata team on monday about what may be delaying the data loading/publishing . Maybe it is the 2023 / 2024 conflict ?
Literally in your screenshot it says 2023- in IMDB. They just call it Doctor Who, they don’t add a year distinguisher. TVDB adds years to the titling all the time, but they also reference 2024 as air date/start date.
So it does! 
this is a weird one
Appreciate that. From everything I’ve seen and had a lot of smarter people look at, there is some dead TVDB # attached to the show causing Plex not to populate the proper one. That is what they’ve told me as well. I’ve tried all methods and only TMDB airing works, so appreciate them looking into it as caching shouldn’t be an issue a week later.
