It would be extremely helpful if the web UI would show the source of metadata and matches. Currently it shows the Title and a badge with a number (I’m guessing that this reflects the "certainty of a match). It would be extremely beneficial if the UI would also show where it got this match and/or d…

I suppose you’re referring to the dialog where you can manually match movies (or fix an existing match). The dialog is using the library agent as its default source… if you use the advanced search within this dialog you have an option to manually select the agent/source you want to apply. In an id…

Actually I was just talking about on the Edit screen for a particular piece of media. As an example: Space Force, yes the files and folders are named per the guidance from Plex, Plex keeps matching it (100 number next to the badge) with The Movie Database (for some reason). Yet that yields zero t…

Would you mind sharing a screenshot of that “badge” you’re talking about? I’m currently more confused than before. Unless you start tinkering with every single item, Plex is using the agent configured for that library – from the library context menu: ... > Manage Library > Edit... -> Advanced > A…

Here’s the “badge” I’m talking about. [image] I agree that for most of my stuff it works just fine. However, I’m new to Plex and in the process of bringing over my whole collection of TV, Movies and Music. I am finding it difficult with some of the more “esoteric” TV shows in my collection.

I would love to see an icon with a link to the metadata source page. Ie a tvdb icon next to a show title > links to the show tvdb page. tmdb icon next to a movie title > links to movie tmdb page mbz icons next to artist/album that link to the respect artist/release page.

Are You Being Served? Are You Being Served? Again! Only When I Laugh. Absolutely Fabulous. Corner Gas Still Game This is all I’ve gotten into the library so far. I have a couple hundred more. Not all of them so “esoteric” :wink:

I have not looked those shows, but some of those may be SEASONS instead of separate shows. when in doubt, search the TVDB for the show and see how the episodes are layed out, that is how you must organize your media if you want plex to match and pull correct metadata.

Oh, they’re all separate TV Shows. Each with multiple seasons and multiple episodes per season.

[image] Garroc: Are You Being Served? Are You Being Served? Again! Only When I Laugh. Absolutely Fabulous. Corner Gas Still Game I would name them… Are You Being Served (1972) Are You Being Served Again! (1992) Still Game (1999) Corner Gas (2004) Absolutely Fabulous (1992) Only Whe…
