Missing TV Show for the Brittas Empire S5 E9

Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files

Server Version#: 1.32.7.7621

I have all 7 seasons of this show (8 including the specials). For some reason S5 E9 called ‘In The Beginning’ refuses to show its name in the Plex library. I named the file ‘The Brittas Empire - s05e09 - In the Beginning.mkv’ in the library. All other episodes of this and many other series all named in the same way without issue, yet this just shows as Episode 9.

I thought it must be an agent issue. The agent settings for TV using TMDB and TVDB, both of which list that episode correctly. What could be wrong?
Thanks for any advice.

Try and edit the Show, and change Advanced/Episode Ordering to thetvdb (Aired)

Thank you Dane.
That worked!
Though some poster art has changed from UK to what looks like US. Otherwise all ok.

For future, I suggest you compare our two main sources

On the library level, your default is set to tmdb, but you can overwrite that on show basis if needed, like in this case, where tmdb simply didn’t have that episode

They do, it’s a special based on their aired rules The Brittas Empire: Specials (1994) — The Movie Database (TMDB). So if it’s named as s00e01 then plex should pick it up using tmdb naming.

Thanks dane and dokuro. I should have looked there. I learned something new!

That’s interesting. Some of the Specials have been removed from the TvDB.
