Server Version#: 1.18.6.2368 Is there a known issue where TheTVDB Plex Agent won’t auto match new TV Shows released in 2020? When I select match, the agent finds a result without any input from me. So why isn’t it finding it automatically? I don’t have this issue with shows released in previous …

It does work and is a help when matching manually. Still shouldn’t have to know a shows TVDB to match it though. Particularly in this case. It’s the only TV Show on TVDB called “Central Park” and Plex can’t auto match it.

Excellent news! Great to see this is being fixed and improved.

Give it a whirl with a test library, it does not mess with your other existing Libraries

It’s only for movies, though. Not for TV shows atm.

Still a solid move forward Otto, or do you think different?
