I didn’t say I had a problem with any Specials, I said I have all of Top Gear except a few Specials.
I just unmatched Top Gear and Matched it again.
Using TheTVDB, Plex found Top Gear Russia only, as you said. TMDB finds 15 Top Gear related entries with the correct 2002 series at the top, with a score of 100.
Using the Top Gear TVDB series ID: 74608, finds the correct Top Gear but still only gives a score of 81 for an exact match.
Once I matched and selected the correct Top Gear Plex did return the correct metadata for the Specials and Season 1-5. The rest are showing as Episode # only. I’m trying a Refresh Metadata to see what happens.
Edit:
Metadata is correct, Seasons 6-29 is correct with Episode #. Only Seasons 1-5 had episode titles.
The Specials I have are, 1, 12, 15, 20, 32, 34, 37-44, 48, 68, 69, 72 and 81.
