I have an old series in my library and the TVDB data is all wrong, so the wrong episodes are played when I select one. I would much rather have my own metadata locally with the episode titles in local files in my server. How can I do that?
I played around with fixing the TVDB data myself. There are missing episodes and some others are repeated or in the wrong season. The TVDB interface is buggy and hard to work with so it would be very time consuming to fix it. They don’t even have proper export/import features. So I figured rather than fixing TVDB, it would be faster for me to host the metadata. But if Plex can’t do that, then I would have to bite the bullet and go one by one fixing the mess at TVDB. This is a Mexican show from the 70’s and back then they did not keep good track of episodes lists.
Yes, I am aware of all that. And that is precisely what I want to fix. It makes no sense to have titles if they are incorrect.
Thank you. That is what I suspect. I searched through the Plex official documentation and could find nothing.
However, I believe I found a solution without involving TVDB. I simply use “MP3 Tag” which is an application that is designed to edit tag metadata on MP3 files, but it also works for MP4 video files. By mass filling the Title tags properly for all video files causes Plex to override whatever information is coming from TVDB, resulting in correct episode titles. It’s much faster than entering the information in TVDB or using the Plex interface to edit metadata. Once I ask Plex to refresh metadata, the correct titles appear. It’s basically metadata from local source rather than editing directly in Plex which can be very painful and time consuming.
