Server Version#: Version 4.29.2

Recently, I finished adding a TV Season to my server. When it re scanned, all information for the season disappeared and now everything shows as blank. Any ideas? I have been using the same naming convention for the last 3 years and it has worked. I have used the one that Plex recommends…

Dogfights (2005) - s01e01 - Mig\_Alley

…

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

The name of the show in the TVDB is Dogfights not Dogfights (2005). Sometimes adding the year when it isn’t necessary will cause  
the show to not match.

You can also try Fix Match and use the TVDB ID # only, 80257 no year or text.
