Ah thanks! I know what this is, it was a bug that was fixed but never made it to this branch. I’ll make sure this gets added to the next build.
Ok, thanks. I’ll check back later on that then. I see that it shows theTVDBs data as the second choice when I’m re-matching but it refuses to show this in Norwegian 95/100 times. That’s been an issue for years. Why is that? Changing to Swedish for example works much much better.
So you will make your own Plex database? Will it be possible to add to or edit this as an end user?
Exactly like @Volts reproduced it:
Forum Preview version 1.21.2.3841
(links have been updated in the first post)
Fixes:
- The “Updating metadata” activity for some seasons during a metadata refresh would disappear too quickly.
- Once a scan finished any unmatched episodes would cause the entire show to be refreshed, this has been changed to only refresh the affected season(s) and not all the show’s seasons.
- The “Primary ratings source” option would always revert back to TMDB (visual only).

Are there release notes for this posted somewhere? I’m curious if the feature request for showing missing episodes of a show ( Option to show MISSING seasons and episodes - General / Feature Suggestions - Plex Forum) made the cut.
Generic is my strong preferance!
Please update docker.
OK, I updated manual working.
No, we aren’t working on adding feature requests at this stage.
Yes please. I currently use Plextrakt-Season-Integration which works great
But if this was integrated into Plex it would be brilliant.

Good work Plex devs new agent that uses Moviedb is way better than TVDB so far so good merry Christmas.
So far in my experience a lot of the season artwork does not load. A “Refresh Metadata” does not bring it up either, but if I do a fix match per show and choose the same show that it is already matched to, nothing else changes but the season artwork then shows up. It’s been this way for pretty much every show in my test library. I do not have this same issue in my primary library.
Otherwise so far so good. It seems much faster than the previous agent, I like the real faces for actor artwork rather than whatever updated last, be it cartoon characters or sci-fi makeup.
Adding on to what other users have said, I would also like to see season synopsis added and which guest stars are on each episode of a show.
Plex is not recognizing " Diriliş: Ertuğrul". I downloaded it’s seasons from YouTube but Plex is not even adding it in database
How did you name/organize those videos?
Try and name it as Dirilis Ertugrul
Hi , i have all my files in genre folders and have all my doco’s in one folder and as you know some are considered TV series and will fetch data and single episode doco’s are considered as movies and won’t fetch meta data , will this upgrade help with the single episode doco’s ?
That’s all dependant on the Metadata providers check IMDB because it seems to be the #1 source, TheMovieDB seems to be #2, & TVdb is the main source before so if it didn’t before TVdb probably just has them as movies
Will the new TV agent match using IMDb ids at the episode level? I’m thinking if I put the IMDb ID for each episode in the file name then changing the episode order of a show would be easy because it’s just a matter of mapping the episodes and changing the order that they appear in Plex.
That would be great, I personally prefer TVdb over IMDB by a lot but it might be worth that sacrifice if that works.
I believe the problem with using the TVDB id is that it can change. Like when they decide to reorder episodes or merge/split series. IMDb ids are more static and would make more sense for use in file names.
I’m not sure about that, I know the URL to an episode stays the same, even if the episode is moved in order or even from a season to the Specials, I just like TVdb as a more accurate & complete Database aside from credits. I know I’ve run into a number of times IMDB having incorrect titles, air dates, & even episode order. I used to submit corrections, but I gave up on that after the 3rd or 4th time I’d submitted corrections with irrefutable proof that they rejected. The last attempt I had a picture of the TV Guide listing & a picture of the DirecTV DVR screen with recorded date saying the episode aired 2 weeks earlier than they listed & it was rejected. I think they are a bad 1st reference point for anything except cast information or other credits, but even with that, if I can use an episode ID to get the correct Metadata while still having episodes in the order I want, with special episodes where they’ll play where they belong, I’d be willing to give up the better Metadata for that
Well you’d only be using the IMDb ID as a static unchanging ID to identify episodes. From there you could use any metadata provider you like as long as they have the IMDb ID in the episode metadata. For instance TVdb episodes usually include the IMDb ID in their metadata.
