Good afternoon, I am having troubles with Plex not pulling the right Metadata from thetvdb, it is taking a “Season 0” episode as the first episode of S06.

And as you can see here, this is how it should be.

I have tried doing the thetvdb-253990 search on Search Options but it still comes back wrong, any tips?

Thank you!

How are the files named? Can you post a screenshot of those files?

I believe you’re pulling TMDB data

Verify that the library or show is set to use TVDB as the show order

show level (pencil in show poster) --\>advanced

Thank you! I knew there was a way to change the metadata source, I couldn’t remember for the life of me!
