Server Version#: 1.25.4.5426 Player Version#: 4.73.2 I went through the process of adding in the TVDB ID into my files per the new agent/matching methodology and cleaned up my library to help avoid mismatches. I have 2 shows that match on the top level, but the episodes are not matching. I did t…

No, there was bad data in our cache from where a request to the TVDB api failed. The data was refreshed and is populated in our cache properly again.

Do the other shows (which do match) have the same file owner and access permissions?

100% no permission issues. I run plex overrides and it runs as my user felix. I have a standalone server that is only used by me so it’s simplified in terms of that to avoid any permission issues as it all runs as the same user. felix@gemini:/media/TV/House of Lies (2012) {tvdb-247909}/Season 01$ i…

[image] anon5074910: Just to be 100% sure but when you do the plex dance are you doing the entire show on your main TV library ? If not then I’d suggest doing that. To be specific: moving the whole directory out of the monitored area: 2194 mv Homeland\ $2011$\ \{tvdb-247897\}/ .. 2195…

Took a peek at your logs and don’t see anything that would explain this but I’m sure others are more skilled than I. I do however wonder if you just leave well enough alone for 24/48 hrs would it sort itself out :slight_smile: I can be sure your naming of media is fine so could be something else wh…

Much appreciated. Thanks for checking/spending your time.
