Reported Problem for Season 1
posted by jivemmSTAFFMOD on August 3, 2018 at 4:54 AM
Item: Season 1
Language: en
Type of Problem: Incorrect_content
Extra Details: This show is completely messed up. Refer to IMDB which has the episodes in the correct order for each season. If you look at Season 1 Episode 1 the summary even states that the guest star won an Emmy which was impressive because it was the show's 5th episode. Yet here is it listed as number 1. IMDB has it correctly as episode 5. This messes up Plex where the TVdb also has the episodes in the wrong order. How can I go about correcting them all? New to the site.

Hi there,
First of all, I invite you to read our TV Bible. As per our television guidelines, episodes should always be listed in their original airing order. The episodes on IMDb appear to be listed in their production order. While it's a valid order, it's the wrong one for us.
The Muppet Show has at least two different airing orders: the original UK order and the orignal US order. I decided to use the UK one as the original episode listing.
Then I created two alternative orders for the US order and the Production order using the episode group feature. These episode groups are also available via the API. However, as far as I know, Plex do not yet support them.
