Server Version#: 1.43.1.10611-1e34174b1 Player Version#: <If providing server logs please do NOT turn on verbose logging, only debug logging should be enabled> I have a show that is only pulling season titles for SOME seasons, but not all. Walk at Home with Leslie Sansone - TheTVDB.com …

The metadata for this seems very scattered/minimal. Did this actually air on TV? Plex largely uses TMDB as the main source of metadata for a show. Linking things from TVDB like season titles would need the show’s TVDB listings linked to the TMDB side to tie them together in Plex’s database, and I’m…

No, these are vhs exercise shows. I have the TVDB id in the folder name, if that makes a difference.

Good timing, I was actually going to ping you over on Reddit to post here since it hadn’t refreshed fully yet. It’s odd that the Season 8 title came over, and the Season 7 episode 1 title came over, and has the tvdbid linked to it, but the rest did not. Wondering if there’s some minimum amount of i…

[image] TeamTJ: No, these are vhs exercise shows. See that kinda explains why TMDB has a bunch of movie entries for this woman. While the programs may be “continuations” of each other and new content, they aren’t really a TV series. So the concept of season/episode isn’t really correct. They …

[image] nx6: I would suggest just manually entering the Season titles. I don’t mind doing that…as you said it isn’t very many, I was really more curious why it isn’t pulling automatically like the other “seasons” are.

I added this “show” to my testing library using the tvdb id. Also had to select tvdb (aired) ording Looks like the episodes are matching except for S9. Did you just add that one? Might not have been ingested into Plex yet. All my season are showing up as Season 1, 2, etc. I even tried ren…

They added it last week, can’t remember the exact day. The strange part is they did season 7, 8 and 9 around the same time, maybe a couple hours apart. The season 8 title came over, as did the episode title. For season 7, the season title didn’t come over, but the episode title did. And for season 9…

[image] TeamTJ: I was really more curious why it isn’t pulling automatically like the other “seasons” are. It’s because the metadata is incomplete and TVDB-exclusive. While you can set an episode ordering in show details, that is to help PMS identify the files and what episode is what. It doe…

Not sure I’ve seen season title transfer over like that before, but maybe it’s because my libraries default to TMDB. You’re right, seems odd S9 hasn’t populated. One trick I’ve done on TMDB is to “tickle” the entries. Make a small change that triggers Plex to look at it. Do you know when…

Yah, I suggested they add at least a start date to the first episode so there’s a year on the show in case that causes issues. When I created the test files it loaded all the season names, except 7 and 9 and episode names for some they changed. Plex actually pulled in their changes within 24 hours …
