Plex matches episode from a different TV Show

  1. verify that your tv show library is only pointing to /data/tv. Not one folder level above, nor below it.
  2. check for embedded metadata in your mp4 files. Either remove them completely, or perform the following configuration change: Go to
  • Settings - Server - Agents - Shows - TheTVDB

In there, grab the line ‘Local Media Assets’ with your mouse and drag it downwards, so it ends up being at the bottom of the stack of active agents.
Repeat the same under

  • Settings - Server - Agents - Shows - TheMovieDatabase
  • Settings - Server - Agents - Movies - Plex Movie
  • Settings - Server - Agents - Movies - TheMovieDatabase
  1. Perform the Plex Dance with both shows.
    Only add back one show at once.
