Plex not matching correctly even with TVDB ID

Server Version#:1.32.5.7349
Player Version#:N/A

overview: A TV series (Snagglepuss) does not show up in library. it keeps getting falsely flagged as The Yogi Bear Show. I tried using the TVDB series ID to search but something is getting crossed in the search because just Yogi shows up





There is conflicting information between TMDB & TVDB for Snagglepuss. As a result, it appears as Yogi Bear (which may be correct).


Listing as Snagglepuss
The Snagglepuss entry at TVDB was linked to Yogi Bear at TMDB & IMDB. I removed those links. If TVDB lets the edit stand (no guarantee), Plex should pick up the changes in 24 - 48 hours.

You will most likely need to use the TVDB ID in the tv show folder name:
/tv shows/Snagglepuss (1961) {tvdb-74938}/Season 01/Snagglepuss (1961) s01e01 Major Operation.mkv

You should also tell Plex to use the TVDB Aired episode ordering: Edit the show (pencil icon) → Advanced → Episode Ordering = TVDB (Aired).

If that does not work, you will need to list the show as the relevant episodes of the Yogi Bear show.


Listing as Yogi Bear episodes
You must use the TMDB episode ordering (Yogi Bear at TMDB).

/tv shows/Yogi Bear (1961) {tmdb-30773}/Season 01/Yogi Bear (1961) s01e02 Major Operation.mkv

You should also tell Plex to use the TMDB (Aired) ordering. Edit the show (pencil icon) → Advanced → Episode Ordering = The Movie Database (Aired).


Additional Details

Yogi Bear was originally part of Huckleberry Hound. Yogi got his own show in 1961.

Snagglepuss never had his own show. It was always part of the Yogi Bear show. (Wikipedia: Snagglepuss; List of Yogi Bear Episodes)

TMDB lists Snagglepuss as part of the Yogi Bear Show (ex: Yogi Bear Season 1).

TVDB has a separate listing for Snagglepuss. It was linked to Yogi Bear at TMDB & IMDB. I removed those links, but TVDB may not let the edits stand.

TVDB also has a listing for The Yogi Bear Show. It lists episodes much differently than TMDB and does not include the Snagglepuss episodes.
