Why the same resource get different episode metadata?

Server Version#:1.31.0.6654
Player Version#:1.64.2.3546-5107ec40
Just one add Earlier, another add late.
I try to refresh the metadate, but it does not work.

Is there any way to make the old one into the new one ?

old one:


new one:

I delete the old one,and readd the same tvshow, the it change into the type of new one. So is there any way to delete the origin metadata?

I don’t understand what the issue is. I’m sure it is because i don’t understand that language. What show is that?

“狂飙” A chinese series, now I want to delete the metadata of this show and let it re-scan, I see the database of plex, but I can’t find the matadata.

Do this The Plex Dance ™

I try, Plex Dance doesn’t work, there is onr way can work that remove the series from the folder, refresh the library and move it back, but it is too inconvenient

Im still not really clear what you are trying to accomplish. You want it to not have any metadata?

Is it this show?

https://thetvdb.com/series/429566-

Yes, It is the show. Not only this one, but many of them have the same problem

The problem now is that my ultimate goal is to show this show like this:

But now it look like:


Neither the picture nor the title is right, as red box show

I try fix match or refresh the metadata, It not work.
I use other show to fix match, It look like:


You can see the title and picture remain the same.(The picture above shows me after I manually changed the picture)

Even though, I cancel match, it also remain the same:

It’s like the image and title are locked, or cached.
So I know one way can fix that move out and move back as I metioned above, But too inconvenient!

what type of files are they? and what agent are you using?

There two source:
1080p soruce: /home/chinese show/”狂飙“/S01 (Just translate the path)

4K source: /home/chinese show/”狂飙.2022“/S01 (Just translate the path)

no episode nfo.

And agent setting:
libirarysetting


Check above ,Thanks!!

Since you are using the Plex TV Series agent all the settings for that agent are in the Advacned settings of the library. The ones in your bottom screenshot are only for old agents and do not affect Plex TV Series.

According to that it should be getting the metadata from TheMovieDatabase here The Knockout (TV Series 2023-2023) — The Movie Database (TMDB)

Since those are .mp4 files if you have “Prefer Local Metadata” enabled it will grab the metadata embedded in the file. I can’t see if you have it enabled in your screenshot


Yes I do,

Disable that and refresh metadata

YES,it works.
Thank you very much!

Now there’s another problem, the title is OK, but the picture is still not:
