I’m having a number of reboot series (and some new ones using old names) being matched with the wrong series. I started to add to the metadata correction table, but it is becoming unwieldly. So, I am looking to the “Prioritize matching by Original Broadcast Date” setting to help. My expectation for…

This has been fixed in today’s 2.4.9 BETA build.

I would recommend using the latest 2.4.9 beta version which has many improvements to metadata matching. If you’re still seeing an issue post back when the new logs and we can look into them. There is an inherent issue to which source of data is the “truth”. TVDB, IMDB, TV.com etc. We have tried to …

Ok, I updated to the Oct 15 release yesterday and the results are different, but still incorrect. First example is Magnum PI. TS no data Found NPVR XML has SD data Found TVDB by Original Broadcast Date Found TV.com match by ep and season → changes the original broadcast date to 1981, but leaves o…

This is a tricky topic and that’s because each source of metadata is incomplete is on way. For example TV.com has Magnum PI the original version but not the new one. TVDB has SWAT original but not the new one. So each one is complete and since the names matches they sometimes confused the series. T…

I updated to the Oct 24 build and it worked on Hawaii Five-O, but not SWAT or MacGyver. I’ll grab the Oct 26 build and see what those changes produce. Thanks

Just an update that I have gone with the correction table solution. However, even though the correct series is found for metadata, the premiereyear variable is not found for series added to thetvdb after apiv2 was released, for example Magnum P.I. Since I use Plex I have the filename set to %showna…

If you attach your conversion log we can replicate and see if there’s another way to scrape or match that information. We cannot use earliest episode since that information isn’t always accurate or complete.

Log attached. Magnum P.I.S01E14.I, the Deceased.ts-Convert to MKV-2019-01-29T07-17-51.1222794-05-00.log (1.8 MB)

Tagging this to an open request which should solve your issue as well: [image] Compare series year with premiere year while matching metadata New Features Continuing the discussion from: https://discussion.mcebuddy2x.com/t/incorrect-series-year-matching/2591/3

This feature was implemented today, now MCEBuddy compares the series year with the metadata which matching up, as long as the series year information is available to match

I think Will & Grace also fall into this category, along with Magnum P.I., McGuyver, New Amsterdam (I forced it to the correct show). Also, shows like Survivor (always picks the TU (Turkish) version, where the entry doesn’t have a country code, so it shows up first in TVDB searches) and The Voice (…
