The show Grand Maison Tokyo (2019) - {tmdb-95718} is wrongly matched by plex to the show Gura Gura Maison Tokyo: Shohei Hirako’s Swaying Emotions (2019) - {tmdb-203516}, which has the same episodes numbers and aired in the same year.

I’ve tried fixing match with entering the correct show name or tmdb/imdb ID but didn’t work. I’ve also tried adding tmdb id suffix to the folder and refreshing metadata afterwards but still no luck.

I think Plex messes these two shows up and therefore fetching the wrong metadata. Hoping someone can look into the problem and fix the bug. Many thanks in advance.

I have filed this issue with the metadata team.  
It is clearly mashing up the main series and the companion series.

Thank you for the feedback. This issue has existed for at least several months. Hope that it will be fixed soon.
