Incorrect Metadata for shows

[markhc]

This is yet another Monogatari Series issue.

Forgive me if this has been asked before, I am new to Plex and Hama so it's very possible (almost guaranteed) it's something I am doing wrong. I'm trying to add the Monogatari Series to my library and it's been a mess.

The series is correctly picked up by the scanner, but when Hama tries to fetch the metadata, it seems to use Bakemonogatari metadata for every other season of the show. It looks like this:

Looking through the logs it seems Hama is using TVDB to grab information about the series, and since tvdb has Monogatari under a single show, it seems to use the same information for every season.

AniDB_id: '8357', AniDB_id2: '8357', AniDBid: '8357', TVDB_id: '', TVDB_id2: '102261', TVDBid: '102261'

I'd like to know what I can do to have the series correctly listed in Plex, that is to say, each "Season" of the show is displayed on its own OR under a single Monogatari Series entry, but split into different series with correct metadata for each (which I think is not really feasible with Plex).

Full logs attached below. Thanks for any help.

This is my file structure, fyi (as you can see I tried forcing the anidb id to see if that would help - it didnt):

Monogatary is the worst ever anime to sort. There was posts on Plex forums https://forums.plex.tv/t/how-do-i-separate-mistakenly-matched-versions-of-a-tv-show/160249/9 All these series being grouped in TheTVDB they will share posters and metadata but I had an offset generator to avoid duplicate posters You may want to remove tvdb from metadata sources at your own risk or manually set anidb agent for these few series...

[markhc]

Thanks. I just used another agent (the MAL agent) for the series and that seems to have sorted it out. Good to know it might happen to other series grouped on TVDB as well. Now i'm prepared :)

You can edit per field the tetadata source order. Tvdb has better posters. You can have proper collections using grouping folders and using Local metadata source only
