Hi, I’m trying to sort my Dexter’s Laboratory episodes on Plex using the “Joined” episode ordering from TVDB. The problem is this category was incomplete for quite some time (only 1 season was sorted properly), but has been recently fixed ( Dexter's Laboratory - TheTVDB.com ) Now I’m trying to have…

I have filed an issue for the metadata team.

The update was made on Nov 22 I think. Can it be trigged manually somewhere then?

Have you refreshed at the show level recently?

Yes, I also tried un-match and fix match but the issue remains.

Just for giggles, can you do the Plex Dance with these and make sure you pick the correct sort order again?

@OttoKerner @ChuckPa Can someone triple check this and get a ticket filed? I am seeing the same issue.

It has been fixed. Thanks a lot!

[SOLVED] How long does it take for Plex to update a TVDB change?

Even after a Plex Dance, it still won’t update and match what’s on TVDB.
