Unable to auto or fix match on a particular TV show in thetvdb.com

Server Version#: 1.19.1.2701
Player Version#: 1.8.2.1192-89432618

I recently put the show “Hello World” into my Plex library. You can see thetvdb.com page for the show here:

https://thetvdb.com/series/hello-world-1

Plex is not retrieving or matching on that show, however. I tries to match it to a different show, “Hello World!”, and if I try to manually fix the match, I don’t get “Hello World” (without the exclamation point) as an option:

The two shows it thinks it might be aren’t right. I assume this is a bug in Plex?

It’s probably just one of those things, due to the number of similar shows, but here’s the cure:

323522

That’s the TVDB ID# for that show - you see it in the upper right portion of the first page.

Put that number in the Title Field in the search options.
It should force the look-up.
Select what it finds.

Thanks, putting that TVDB ID# did the trick! I’m glad there’s an obscure work-around for the problem.
