Unable to scrobble The Great British Bake Off via Plex

Trakt Questions & Help
1

Hi,

I have noticed that episodes of The Great British Bake Off watched via Plex do not automatically scrobble. I think that this is due to the fact that Trakt has the 2010 version of the show The Great British Bake Off - Trakt and a 2017 version The Great British Bake Off - Trakt.

In Plex this is likely matched to a single version of the show at The Great British Bake Off - TheTVDB.com, whereas TMDB has two entries (The Great British Bake Off (TV Series 2010-2016) — The Movie Database (TMDB) and The Great British Bake Off (TV Series 2017- ) — The Movie Database (TMDB)).

Is there anything that I can do to have this automatically scrobbled, or will I have to do this manually due to the split/inconsistency?

Thanks!

Have you tried doing the fix match thing in plex yet to map it to the tmdb entries?

I would suggest going into settings and putting the tmdb agent on higher priority then tvdb too.

Thanks, that’s an excellent idea. It looks like I have the mapping changed, but now no series 13 metadata is showing in Plex. I’ll have a play around with that to see what I can do to sort it out.

Thanks again for the idea :slight_smile:

We can match on IDs like IMDB, TMDB, and TVDB. So, if the TVDB IDs are added to the TMDB entry, that should allow the episodes to scrobble correctly even if the season number and episode number are different. My guess is those TVDB IDs aren’t entered on TMDB and therefore we don’t have the IDs saved on Trakt.

Thanks Justin.

I had a look at https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/87012-the-great-british-bake-off/season/6/episode/3/edit?active_nav_item=external_ids and it appears that the external id is entered for TVDB over at The Great British Bake Off - Bread Week - TheTVDB.com.

Is it this 9330102 value that you would be expecting to appear in the scrobble data? I keep copies of the JSON scrobbles if that helps
