Perform a Fix Match. Instead of the show name, search with the [TheTVDB.com](http://TheTVDB.com) show ID, 77526 for Star Trek. Leave the year blank. This should find a match.

TheTVDB is making some changes to their system and it is causing issues with TV show matching for Plex. See [this post](https://forums.plex.tv/t/tv-show-missing-metadata/678641/6) for additional details.
