I recently set up Plex DVR with my HDHomeRun, and so far I’m reasonably impressed with the results. However, the records for NBC Nightly News are labeled with the wrong date in the episode title.
For example, last night’s recording (for the 7/12/19 airing of the news) was labeled with “Jul 3 Wed” as the episode title.
Is there a way to correct this?
I’m also having the same issue. Looking up the episodes from TVDB, it has the correct information. What does plex use to parse the info?
Dear PLEX-DVR support I too share the same issue!
Yeah, the new guide uses a numbering system for episodes that sometimes differs from TVDB. I’m seeing this on lots of stuff. New guide is a debacle… I had to change my library to personal videos to just eliminate the data entirely…
I am seeing the same thing. Using the new guide, NBC Nightly News is routinely dated nine days earlier than the day it is recorded.
Just wanted to bump this thread as it’s still an issue. From what I can tell the Episode number in the guide data doesn’t line up the theTVDB for the current days episode. If I look at today’s episode in the guide (9/2/2019) it shows E231 but if you look at theTVDB E231 would be for Sunday August 25th it should be reading E239 which is for 9/2/2019. Please contact the provider and figure out why we are getting the wrong episode number returned.
I am also experiencing this issue and have since the implementation of the new guide. I’ve just been patiently awaiting a change to see it fixed.
Would love to see a fix for this soon.
Same issue here. I have reported it everywhere. Radio Silence. @elan
I will try to reproduce this and investigate. I am sorry I am going to ask very basic questions -
Lineup and channel number please?
I have lineup info from @hooper610 and I am going to try and guess the channel number and name and then find the airing and metadata
Going to look into: “9.1 KUSAHD (NBC)” and “NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt”
It has been very busy - a lot of issues have already been addressed and fixed, Sorry I have not noticed this thread.
Anyway - the issue should resolve itself from 24th September.
The episode numbers did not correspond to thetvdb numbers and were out.
From 24th September (with a couple of episodes before that as well), the metadata in the guide is switching to date based episodes rather than numbers
I have advanced my clock and did a dummy recording and this is how it will look like
Many thanks!
I have the same problem, the issue happened after Sept 24th.
I’ll see if it’s better tomorrow, but here’s some info
NBC news recorded on Sept 25 was marked as Sept 17th
If this helps…

I have the same problem, NBC nightly news date in the title is off by several days! (even after sept 24)
Was a manual refresh of the guide done just before or on the 25th September ?
Just wondering if it was picking up old data before the adjustments were made
I can’t see any references to 17th September for 24th and 25th metadata for NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt
I would need to know the lineup and channel number and channel name - in case there is something specific to how the airings are setup for that channel
When was the last manual EPG refresh done through server settings before the time when you noticed the problem?
and what lineup / channel number and channel name please
I am running a manual guide update now, don’t recall I have done this recently. The local NBC station in the guide is 12.1 (Winston-Salem WXII)
Still seeing outdated guide data here in Denver on KUSA. Tonight’s broadcast says Sept 23 Mon. I have been in Berlin for work so no manual refreshes here. Even so the guide should have updated on its own since
@sa2000 this is still an issue for me, I did a manual guide refresh today and am still seeing the episode number in the guide not lining up to the episode number in thetvdb. As you can see from the screenshot it’s showing 10/3 for the date but the episode should be 269 not 262.

Plex is an embarrassment. They should have just said hey gracenote is expensive. If you want accurate guide data it will be $25 USD a year. Otherwise you can have our ■■■■■■ product for free.
