So I own Mayday DVDs are 17 Seasons. I found this on THETVDB [https://thetvdb.com/series/mayday](https://thetvdb.com/series/mayday)

I found this article to make it match correctly, but it doesn’t find it via thetvdb number which is 79771. Please let me know what I am doing wrong.

There’s also the issue of naming the show/season/episode correctly:

So it looks like Plex needs to update their software to work with their new version v3 I see, correct?

Correct, partially…

TheTVDB broke the old API as well, so currently, we have to wait to see if Plex is going for API V3, or TheTBDB fix the old API

Personally, I hope for the last one, since they are to blame here, IMHO

</div>

so if they have to use v3, how long do you think that will take Plex to push out an update?
