How to now force Plex to use IMDB or TMDB for TV Shows?

Now that the ‘enhanced’ metadata agent has only one choice, how can we force Plex to not use the default? TVDB is totally messed up for some shows but using the old ‘fix match’ and ‘search options’ with a direct entry of ’ tmdb-60572’ will seem to pull a match, but then it still uses the TVDB data - which IS WRONG.

This is a step back for those who want accurate results. Is there another way to avoid the new single ‘Plex TV Series’ agent?

You can’t. The data is coming directly from Plex not from those sites. Plex gathers the information from those sites. If we’ve got something, please let us know.

Change the library agent back to the old one.

How do you do that? My Plex has only one selection there. Is this not how the new agent was supposed to be implemented? Is there a way to add the old ones back?


Any help would be appreciated.

I meant, you need to change the agent for the entire library. You cannot mix and match the new agent with the old ones.

Edit - If using one of the old ones, you can mix and match the old agents.
