Apologies in advance if this is off topic but I see lots of discussion here about the new Plex agents and seem to have an issue with the “Plex TV Series” agent specifically.
I saw the new “Upgrade Library” option and did that for both movies and TV shows. It happened really quick, seemed to fix some issues and overall loads metadata for everything much quicker without needing as much assistance fixing matches as the previous agents. I was pretty happy with everything until I noticed the other day that the Studio information shows for TV shows no longer shows the Network but rather the Studio that created the show? For example Ted Lasso shows ‘Doozer’ instead of ‘Apple TV+’. Um… what?
I found a few other posts that have screenshots and seem to articulate the issue better than I can.
Long story short it appears that the new Plex TV agent might pull “studio” info from IMDB instead of TVDB. The old “TheTVDB” agent seems to put the Network in the Studio field and I prefer that.
Anyone have a fix for this or know a workaround? Debating my options here.
- Go back to TheTVDB agent. Doing a little test and it seems to fix this Studio issue but OMG its so slow! I would also have to ignore the little suggestions to “Upgrade Library” in a few places.
- Go vote or comment on the other threads talking about the Studio/Network switch up and hope for a feature to come down the pipe that allows changing the fields on the TV show details screen. For example check boxes to pick which info you want displayed. Network and Studio maybe.
- Manual override somehow so the new TV series agent pulls studio data from TVDB instead of IMDB which is how it currently seems to be working?
