Hi, I was wondering if someone could clarify the proper episode titles. I looked them up and found:
S08E01 - Winterfell
S08E02 - A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms
However Plex renamed them to Kings Landing and The Rightful Queen respectively. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Mine keeps grabbing The Rightful Queen for episode 2 even though I have the TVDB agent above everything else.
Edit: deleted cache for metadata of thetvdb and still the same
Why is this marked as solved? Other than manually changing it, which is a more of a workaround, no solution has come forth.
TVDB calls it Winterfell and that is its correct tile. However many online copies call it Kings Landing for some reason.
I've tried mentioned solutions (moving TVDB to bottom of list) and still no luck - any other suggestions?
I have the same issue and TheTVDB is above my local media assets.. A fresh metadata scan didn't do the trick either.
I would guess that your Plex have the Local Media Assets (TV) agent above TheTVDB agent so it uses the titles embedded inside your media files. Move the Local Media Assets (TV) to the bottom of the list, do the Plex dance, and it should get the correct titles from the TheTVDb.
That did the trick. Thank you!
I'm also having this problem and reordered the agents as you suggested, restarted the server, even removed and readied the file to force a rescan and it keeps pulling the wrong title. Anything else I can try? Or do you think Plex will eventually refresh itself and correct the title now that TBDB has the correct info?
(Maybe related, what did you mean by "do the Plex dance"? Maybe I didn't do that step correctly.)
The Plex dance is removing the problem media files from the library, get Plex to scan the library again, if the files shows as missing then delete them from the library, then clean bundles and empty trash. Then move the media files back to the library and do a new scan. That should hopefully fix the issues.
Ah, I wasn't cleaning bundles and emptying trash, thanks for the detailed response! Sadly, the wrong info keeps coming through, so I just manually renamed it for now.
So frustrating, and all due to the arrogant mods at TVDB, bah!
Thanks in any case!
A new server version (v1.15.4.993) was just released, and one of the bug-fixes was: (Metadata) Asking to refresh metadata still used cache for movies and TV shows (#1566), so this could be related to that.
So update the server and then try to refresh the metadata or do the full Plex dance and see if that helps.
