I’m using the Plex TV Series agent, with TVDB ordering.

The metadata for this episode remains empty and the episode is not offered as part of “Continue Watching”. I’ve tried refreshing metadata, but have not tried doing the [Plex dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064).

[TVDB](https://thetvdb.com/series/the-simpsons/episodes/11849270) has the episode as part of Season 0. TMDB, on the other hand, does not have this episode at all [neither as part of Season 37 nor Specials].

This episode was originally part of Season 37 and later moved to Season 0. I wonder if this caused something to be cached incorrectly on the Plex side.

It was listed as a special a couple days ago. TMDB now has it listed as a movie, wtf? Sometimes I don’t understand their logic.

Most likely as its listed as a standalone here [https://www.disneyplus.com/en-ie/browse/entity-36611632-719a-4389-978f-3cb6866707f3](https://www.disneyplus.com/en-ie/browse/entity-36611632-719a-4389-978f-3cb6866707f3) and not under the main show episode listing. This is like other Simpson listing.

And I think TVDB just added it as a special yesterday. Probably will take a couple days for Plex to ingest it.

Just refreshed metadata and all the info showed up. Either the cache was automatically updated or someone tickled something on the backend. If the later, thank you!
