Plex will not add info from thetvdb

I’ve got the tv series Edgar Wallace on Plex. It is the German tv series from the early 60’s.
Easily found on thetvdb under number 93301.

Plex will not take this info and only finds the info on tmdb or imdb.

I even renamed the folder to “Edgar Wallace (1959) {tvdb-93301}”. Still no luck.

Can anyone help?

This is a “made up” series. Although you could argue that it’s a tv series, it is in fact not.
The episodes are only loosely connected and are all the length of a regular movie. They don’t need to be seen in any particular order. And they were produced to be shown in cinemas.

This is the reason why you won’t find it on TheMovieDB, nor the IMDb as a series.
And series which only exist on TheTVDB are difficult to bring into plex.

You will find that every movie of this “series” does indeed exist as a standalone record: e.g. Fellowship of the Frog (1959) — The Movie Database (TMDB)
If you add them all as single movies, you can connect them in Plex with each other by adding them to a common collection. https://support.plex.tv/articles/201273953-collections/
