Issues with Naruto (2002) after updating to new metadata

tvDB lists the show as 5 seasons, and tmDB lists is as 4 seasons. every episode was matched properly before i changed to the new metadata engine, now a lot of episodes are unmatched. I personally think tmDB is wrong, but either way, the metadata needs to be matched properly. It almost seems like it cant decide if it wants to use tvDB or tmDB. Let me know if more info is needed.

Tried:
renumbering and adjusting the show between 4 and 5 seasons. Both have missing metadata.
plex dance

Episodes effected (based on 4 season setup):
Season 3: episodes 28 - 54
Season 4: episodes 15, 17, 19, 49 - 62

tvDB:
Season 1: 35 episodes
Season 2: 48 episodes
Season 3: 48 episodes
Season 4: 48 episodes
Season 5: 41 episodes

tmDB:
Season 1: 52 episodes
Season 2: 52 episodes
Season 3: 54 episodes
Season 4: 62 episodes

How do you have your episode ordering configured for the series? You are able to force a specific ordering for a series in its advanced properties:

If you’d prefer to use TheTVDB ordering, select it from the Episode ordering drop-down.

You can also configure the default for this at the library level (TMDB vs. TheTVDB).

This is actually worse for 4 season setup. Changing the ordering to tmDB removes all names and episode details from seasons 2-4. I’ll try reordering everything into 5 seasons again, and selecting tvDB.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. My intent was for you to change it to TheTVDB (my screenshot could have been better).

Doesn’t resolve the issue either. The episode names aren’t matched with the correct episodes, and some still dont match with anything at all. Definitely an issue with the metadata engine somewhere.

Not necessarily… I have my episodes organized according to TheTVDb (aired order) and Plex got the metadata / artwork etc. just fine.

I don’t think it should be necessary, but you may need to refresh metadata for the series after changing the ordering just to ensure everything is sync’d up.

Metadata has been refreshed, also plex dance. it brings down art, the wrong metadata, and wrong still images for each episode.

Example: Season 3 episode 13 says it’s “Loosing is Not an Option!” This is correct for tmDB, but I’m set to use tvDB. So it should be " Deadlock! Sannin Showdown!"

Thanks for the example.

The data on TheTVDB’s website and the data returned from their api are different here, so looks like an issue on their end. I’ve filed an issue with them: Naruto (2002): data mismatch between website and api · Issue #163 · thetvdb/v4-api · GitHub
