Thanks for the Plex Media Server database and screenshots. The logs did not give the relevant information because they were captured sometime after the end of the recordings
There are several aspects to this problem
-
The schedule information from Gracenote for channel 4.1 KOMODT Affiliate: ABC for the Jimmy Kimmel Live! is giving the season number for the airings as Season 21 instead of Season 22
-
This discrepancy should not have mattered because long time ago, we took the decision that the EPG metadata may not be in sync with other metadata sources and so we stopped replacing EPG metadata when the DVR recording libraries are scanned. This was mentioned in the forum Live TV & DVR category, as a pinned topic EPG metadata is now retained for DVR recordings - Live TV & DVR - Plex Forum - this decision was made in February 2020
- So with this change, the information from the EPG would be retained and if the numbers are wrong, it would not matter , but this would only work if one keeps DVR recordings separate and does not manually change the metadata by forcing a match. Similarly it would not work if recordings are made into an existing library where the show was in the library from another source - not a DVR Recording and so would have non EPG metadata
I have made Gracenote aware that the season number ought to be 22 and not 21.
