I get the hint stuff for identifying a show, but it used to work to get the metadata. Maybe since they removed the legacy agents, this no longer works. Plex series agent was touted as the best of both worlds but it would seem to the worst of either world now. As I said before, TMDB PBS support is pathetic. A couple of examples: Look up Christopher Kimball’s Milk Street Seasib 6 on TVDB. Metadata for all 26 episodes [https://www.thetvdb.com/series/christopher-kimballs-milk-street-television/seasons/official/6](https://www.thetvdb.com/series/christopher-kimballs-milk-street-television/seasons/official/6) On TMDB, only 4 episodes listed. This season is 2 years old and they have not fixed it. > **[Season 6](https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/93645-christopher-kimball-s-milk-street-television/season/6?language=en-US)** I was previously able to fix this by doing doing the [Plex dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) and embedding the tvdb id in the directory name. Another prime example, Lidia’s Kitchen, 11 seasons, soon to start season 12. TVDB has it covered. [https://www.thetvdb.com/series/lidias-kitchen/seasons/official/11](https://www.thetvdb.com/series/lidias-kitchen/seasons/official/11) TMDB truly shows their laziness since they only go to season 9 and only have 1 episode listed at that > **[Season 9](https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/206657-lidia-s-kitchen/season/9?language=en-US)** Is someone from Plex going to addres the failings of the Plex agent?
