I’m using HamaTV right now for matching anime, but it only gets half.  
The other half I have to manually match with MyAnimeList agent.  
Is there a way to have all the episodes that didn’t match through HamaTV be matched through MyAnimeList?

Not an anime watcher but I"m having the same problem with TV & local NFO files.

Anyone know how I can combine the two agents into one agent?

How badly named is your library if my agent only match 50% ?  
Also you can force the anidbid or tvdbid in hte folder name or tvdb.i/anidb.id in serie folder or within “Extras” folder inside the serie folder…

This is how my library is formed:

YaRSS2 Auto-downloader on deluge -\> Downloads specific shows from nyaa.se [Horriblesubs] rss feed -\> DropIt puts it into the show name folder by ripping the text between "[HorribleSubs] " and " - " -\> Name of the file stays as [HorribleSubs] Bad Show - 17 [1080p].mkv

The problem is HorribleSubs is lazy with naming in the sense that it writes it in english/not the full name.  
So e.g.  
Seisen Cerberus -\> matched as Seisen Gakuin (a hentai series) -\> need to manually rematch to Seisen Cerberus: Ryuukoku no Fatalities  
and the worst part is I can’t set an association on plex or anything that says “the next time this is unmatched/incorrectly matched, match to seisen cerberus: ryuukoku no fatalities”

I think, I also had a problem with Jojo (in fact this might still be a problem, dunno until it comes out on friday) because the MAL name is in japanese, while, again, horriblesubs names it Jojo’s Bizzare Adventure - Diamond is Unbreakable.

I think all my posters for that show are manually added because it was originally blank if I recall correctly, only grabbing text metadata.

Maybe this is all an end-user problem and it’s my fault, but I dunno, I think it’s in part due to how “basic” the plex matching system is compared to having an advanced mode and being customizable for cases where they aren’t 100% sure about the match or running it through multiple agents being possible.

Why not manually match with hama?  
Why not using anidb.id file in the serie folder so it matches correctly ? you can also put " [anidb-xxxx]" with xxxx being the anidb id to force the serie…
