I'm hoping for a bit of advice from the kind folks here who've been so helpful with keeping content alive over the years. I've been collecting NOVA series for more than 6 months, and organizing them in the hopes that I can share one torrent, that I will update accordingly as new seasons air. I've been watching Nova since I was 5 or 6, and I fall asleep watching it every night, and I love the series so much.
Unfortunately I am stuck with a bit of a disaster trying to find out what information online is correct regarding which episodes aired during which season. The PBS website shows the airing date of every episode, but doesn't specify which season they were a part of. Wikipedia has every episode under every season, but it doesn't match The Movie Database, or any of the other metadata databases, and I've been told not to blindly trust Wikipedia either.
I want to make sure each folder has the correct episodes under the correct season before I share the torrent. I am also using Plex to watch these. The incorrect metadata online is causing all the episodes to display the incorrect name, so for example when I want to a specific episode, I find it on my Plex server, hit play, and it starts playing something else from another season.
Does anyone have any info on this series, or know which information online is correct so I can categorize the episodes accordingly? Also, there are many missing episodes, and I am going to dedicate as much time as possible to finding them by any means necessary and getting them added to the library. I know this is probably not the best sub to ask these questions, but I am hoping that someone here has had a similar experience with older shows and them not being organized correctly. Thanks
