Hello, so I’m on the latest version of Plex. What happened to thetvdb agent and why isn’t it working for me at least? There’s a show Autopsy: The Last Hours Of… The TVDB sees the episodes how I want them to be. Plex TV agent doesn’t. How can I make it where thetvdb is the default agent for tv stuff? Currently in agents thetvdb is at the top, yet it doesn’t see all the episodes for season 7 and many others. This is how seasons 7 should be:

> **[Autopsy: The Last Hours Of... - Unknown - Season 7 - TheTVDB.com](https://thetvdb.com/series/autopsy/seasons/official/7)**

In Plex it see the forst ep as Chris Farley.

Thanks for your help.

You might want to double-check the `episode ordering` option you have set for that tv-show library. Usually this will default to TMDb. You can change that or you can override it on a per-show level (✏ \> `Advanced` → `Episode ordering`).

This way you can set the preferred ordering and e.g. select from TMDB (Aired), TVDB (Aired), TVDB (DVD) and TVDB (Absolute).

I’m not seeing Advanced. When I go into settings there’s show advanced which is on. But no Advanced option anywhere that I can see.

This is not about the server settings.  
The newer Plex agents can be configured differently for different libraries. You’ll find their configuration when editing the actual library (`⋮` \> `Manage Library` \> `Edit...` → `Advanced`). The override is available when editing an individual show.

In the settings for each series there is an advanced tab.
