I was wondering if there’s a way to use a DVD order for metadata? Currently wondering because Lost has 25 episodes on the bluray on the first season, while TVDB has only 24 episodes on the main page. The main page is where metadata comes from, so the 25th episode pops up in my list as “Episode 25”. …

I had a similar thing happen with a single episode of another show but after multiple times of moving it out and back into that folder, it ended up working. I’ll just patiently wait to see a solution pop up. Thanks though! :slight_smile:

If you’re using MP4 Files - move LMA to the bottom of the stack of active agents under all tabs in Shows and Movies - then refresh metadata at the show level or Plex Dance again. [LMAHack-Year20] Red: where it was Green: where it goes

Well, it was worth a shot - if you ever want to use MP4 files - better do the LMA Hack or you WILL experience pain and suffering…lol

I add/used/changed a series to dvd order a few hours ago and it worked fine. make sure files are already named in dvd order Scan new show in (plex will scan them in default broadcast order) edit show, change to dvd order rescan refresh metadata at show level show should now have seasons/episod…

I’ve done that multiple times. I always name my stuff properly as well so… It’s just this one episode that refuses to work for some odd reason.

Came here experiencing the same issue. After trying an endless combination of removing the show, cleaning bundles, emptying trash, renaming files, and clearing my metadata cache, I really think that Plex is unable to get the DVD order anymore, via the Plex setting and the custom DVD order agent… Wha…

I am trying this on The Office (US) now. It is not pulling the DVD order…

Now it did. But it is refusing to give some episodes names. Just “Episode #”. Refreshing does nothing. Why must this be a constant struggle?
