I started to notice an issue with a show “Bob’s burgers”. It is shows up in my TV shows library as “I Love the 1880’s” which is a show I recorded off WGAL 8.4 Story TV, but only have one episode of it. Seasons 14-16 Of" “Bob’s burger’s” which were recorded from 43.1 WPMT are showing up as I Love the 1880’s not as bobs burgers. the show episode names are correct. even checked my DVD schedule , the next 4 episodes are scheduled for bob’s burgers and everything looks fine. The two shows have separate folders named appropriately on the drive where I have all my media. I have tried refreshing all meta data for TV shows a few times and no change. What has caused this and how can I fix this odd thing?

That’s weird. I created both these shows in my testing library. They both matched fine, tho I did have to select TVDB ordering for the 1880’s show. My setup defaults to TMDB. I think the first thing I’d try is do the [plex dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) with Bob’s Burgers. I think that will split the two shows apart. It’s certainly easy & quick to try. ---

Ok Thanks I have tried everything I could think from past troubleshooting but that. I even just changed “I Love the 1880s” to TVDB , emptied trash, cleaned bundles and refreshed metadata, didn’t change anything. I’m not at home at the moment and can only work on it via plex Web. I don’t have remote access set up to modify the files remote on that Linux desktop yet, so I’ll try this evening to move the files off that drive and do the [plex dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064). ---

I wouldl check the file paths for something off but you should be able to just do a “fix match” on the show. ---

I tried the “fix match” just now. I was offered a list of shows to match it, picked Bob’s burgers. Now all the shows are showing up as Bob’s burgers, even the one show I have that is I love the 1880’s now Plex thinks is Bob’s. All that did was create a reverse version of the issue. ![bob's-2](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/4/0/f/40f9f21eb2b833e50bbc776dbdfbf452eb1df9a2.png) ![ilove1880s-2](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/3/2/0/3209a1ca58095deda469e0de8efd699c3bc4daf6.png) You can see the file paths are different. I still has them joined. I’m going to do the [Plex dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) when I’m at the actual machine. I will try move the one I love 1880’s directory out of the Library. Hopefully that will separate them. ---

What path do you have set in the individual library folder settings ---

If you do “unmatch”, does that split them apart? Then you could fix match them separately ---
