Having metadata issues with the new agent. I may be missing something big but i can’t figure it out
Trying to match season 37 of Sesame Street - i have the library it’s in set to tvdb instead of moviedb - this is how the first episode looks when it matches - to confirm 100% there wasn’t another issue i plex dance the entire show and added it back
I am well aware of the new agent and the combination of both sources of metadata - i am selecting a source of metadata and it is not listening to my selection is the issue
Changing the episode ordering isn’t a source selection, it’s just telling us which order you have the episodes on disk. Ratings are the only fields you can currently select a preferred source for.
Wow – this show is a right old mess on TMDB. I also see incorrect and missing external IDs for some seasons which would cause its own problems for anyone using episode ordering in plex.
Anyhow, I’ve not overly familiar with the shows episodes but I’ll do a best effort to fixup what I can when I have some free time and add anything I see missing. Will post back here once I get what I can done completed.
@mcrommert I’ve fixed up the titles from S37 as well as some others missing from other seasons so give it 24-48 hours and then force refresh on the show in plex should have you pick them up.
S01-S35 however need a lot more work and is beyond my knowledge of the show/episodes based on my initial lookup online for show. I have fixed a few but not the vast majority. If you have the knowledge then please help out the community.
While not the same show, I am not entirely sure if your answer is correct.
If I change Dragon Ball Z from TVDB to MovieDB ordering, it will also get me the metadata from the Movie DB, this is clear from the Season Titles, which are in English from The Movie DB while from the TVDB they are in japanese. The TVDB should not be pulling translated titles as you confirmed in another thread.
So does changing the episode ordering have the agent choose metadata differently? By your reply here, I understand it does not, however the small experiment above seems to show otherwise.
Also, doing this with One Piece which has vastly different season episode numbers comparing TVDB to TMDB seems to change the metadata to TMDB when choosing that episode ordering.
Thank you for the time reading this and for helping me understand this better.
Seasons specifically will be different between the different orderings but the show and episodes will not. The only time shows and episodes will be unique to a specific source is if that’s the only source that has that data.
