Is there a way to report bad data in the Plex metadata database? Specifically, One Piece has an inconsistent naming scheme. It seems to hop between absolute naming order & back as well, season 7 starts at E09!
https://watch.plex.tv/show/one-piece/season/7
A bit frustrating to say the least…other online media sources have a way to provide feedback for bad data. Does Plex?
EDIT: Added link.
In addition to the weird naming anomalies, the Plex DB only has 1010 episodes and there are 1051 released to date…
Same problem here… I named 265 episodes manually. After Plex didn´t find them, i used FileBot and it renamed all episodes (english and without seasonnumber). Now there are 30 episodes of El Cazador de la Bruja (that´s right) and 265 episodes of El Cazador de la Bruja again with an other thumbnail. The episode thumbnails and names are like El Cazador, but the movies are One Piece.
I don´t get it…
My sorting and datatree:
One Piece:
File “Streaming” → File “Serien” → File “Anime” → File “One Piece” → File “1 East Blue” → Movie “One Piece - 01 - Im Luffy! The Man Who`s Gonna Be King of the Pirates!.mp4”
El Cazador:
File “Streaming” → File “Serien” → File “Anime” → File “El Cazador de la Bruja” → Movie “El Cazador de la Bruja - 1 Fliehende Frau.mp4”
Then you didn’t tell Filebot that you need the Plex naming.
Will never work.

this is what i searched yesterday. But i only got Error 404 or 500 (maybe old links)…
Thanks for this link!
But this ^^ worked
My new structure is:
File “TV Shows” → File “One Piece” → File “Season 01” → Movie “One Piece - E01 - Im Luffy! The Man Who`s Gonna Be King of the Pirates!.mp4”
I used FileBot with this format:
{n} - {s00e00} - {t}{subt}
but there is no seasonnumber… Do I have to use the format in which FileBot automatically creates the folder for the season?
You need to use TheTVDB data in FileBot. If you use AniDB you won’t get season numbers back.
I had another problem: I removed a folder from the tree and renamed it, but forgot to change the source accordingly in the Plex account settings, so it was still showing the old status with the wrong namings. Now I have changed the source and all episodes have been found!
It even works with seasonfolders and only with the episode number in the title. I even named the folder with the season name and that works too.
Example:
File “TV Shows” → File “One Piece” → File “Season 01 - East Blue” → Movie “One Piece - E01 - Im Luffy! The Man Who`s Gonna Be King of the Pirates!.mp4”
For renaming i used AniDB because TheTVDB failed to identify some episodes.
Unless you install and use the old AniDB metadata agent into Plex, it won’t do no good.
Plex doesn’t use any other metadata sources than TheMovieDB.org, TheTVDB.com and IMDb.com
My issue refers to using the “Plex TV Series” as the agent. As I understand it, the data for that agent can be referenced here: https://watch.plex.tv/ Here is the link to the show: https://watch.plex.tv/show/one-piece
That is where all of my naming problems originate. I get that the data in the PlexDB is back-ended by TMDB or TheMovieDB or IMDB but once it’s in the PlexDB, I would consider it a “Plex” issue. FWIW, I did some manual renaming to match what I found in https://watch.plex.tv/ and I’m good now.
I don’t know why, but I’m having problems again. I have saved the first 8 seasons of One Piece now gradually until season 13. However, Plex does not recognize the new seasons. I renamed them through AniDB because TheMovieDB messes up episodes and makes season 09 three different seasons. In other situations, “Season 01” was made out of everything.
Anyway… Now I have kept my system, which worked at the beginning, and renamed it with AniDB, but Plex does not recognize the seasons >8.
What did you use @ViewingImpaired ?
whats that?
Now I used the other format with a different folder structure. In the end, the file was called “One Piece - S09E264 - Landing Operations Start! Charge in, Straw Hats!. mp4” and was located directly in the “OnePiece” folder under “TV Shows”. This episode was also not found. None of this makes any sense…
Edit:
Problem solved. Its not a problem of Plex, not TrueNAS, not One Piece or AniDB.
But this makes sense:
I don’t know why, but at some point all new files were assigned to a new owner. As a result, Plex could not find them. It wasn’t because of the name, but simply because of the access rights.
