Plex pulls wrong metadata from tvdb

Server Version#: 4.47.3

Hi,
I have seen lots of similar posts, however none of them matched my problem. So this is the problem. I have ripped a cartoon to my library, then edited the tvdb database (added hungarian desc and episode titles). When plex updates the metadata, the description is correct, however, the titles are not. (displayed titles: 2001-08-29, 2. episode, 3. episode…)
In theory every setting is correct.
This is the series in question: Marcelino - Aired Order - Season 1 - TheTVDB.com

Edit: in a nutshell: it correctly pulls the french/dutch episode titles, but not the hungarian (i added that to tvdb).

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 (Legacy)
  • Settings - Server - Agents - Movies - TheMovieDatabase

Afterwards, Refresh Metadata of the affected items.


If your movie library already uses the new “Plex Movie” agent, do this instead:
Edit your movie library
go to the ‘Advanced’ tab
clear the check mark out of “Prefer local metadata”

Afterwards, Refresh Metadata of the affected items.

Thank you for answering. The settings, you mentioned, were already in place.
The problem is that it does not want to download the hungarian episode titles (every other language works fine). However, i have edited other shows on tvdb, and it worked flawlessly. (so there should be no problem with tvdb’s database

Wait another few days, then Refresh Metadata of this whole series.
New edits on TheTVDB can take a while until they arrive in Plex.
