Server Version#: 1.25.8.5663  
Player Version#: N/A  
Agent: Plex TV Series

I’m trying to match metadata for Outrageous Fortune S06E14, but whenever I ‘Refresh Metadata’ I get the following error:

Request: [127.0.0.1:52568 (Loopback)] PUT /library/metadata/24863/refresh (13 live) GZIP Signed-in Token (t-flicks) (Microsoft Edge)  
Matching ‘Episode 14’ (ID 24863) with agent tv.plex.agents.series  
[MetadataAgent/tv.plex.agents.series] Missing parameters for match request.

The path to the file is:  
M:\TV Shows\Outrageous Fortune\Outrageous Fortune - Season 6\Outrageous Fortune.S06E14.Their Grand Commission.avi

Every other episode in that folder is mapped correctly and has metadata. The Plex Media universe has the metadata available: [Outrageous Fortune · Season 6 Episode 14 · Their Grand Commission - Where to watch the episode online - Plex](https://watch.plex.tv/show/outrageous-fortune/season/6/episode/14)

What’s the issue here? Is there something wrong at my end, or is there an issue with the Plex metadata API?

Season folders should be named `Season XX`, not `Show Name - Season X`.

Try renaming the season folder to `Season 06` and correct other seasons if applicable. [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) the season (or entire show) if needed.

Using a [JellyFish](https://jell.yfish.us/) test file in place of actual episode (hence the 30 second duration):

Following those steps exactly, and even repeating them with just the one file, doesn’t seem to work for me:

I finally managed to get it to work by changing the agent to the old TVDB one, then back to the new Plex TV Series agent and re-adding the files. The original file name and path then resolved correctly and the metadata populated.

It would seem that the [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) is no longer effective.
