Jimmy Kimmel Live has the wrong episode number

Channels DVR Server Troubleshooting
#1

I have Plex scraping my Channels DVR shows that it records and 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' episodes were not scraping correctly so looking a little deeper it appears Channels is incorrectly naming the episodes with the incorrect episode number. Tonight's episode is showing the following:

Jimmy%20Kimmel%20channels%20epsiode%20channel
Jimmy Kimmel channels epsiode channel.JPG1857×397 85.4 KB

The TVDB is showing the following for that episode:

Jimmy%20Kimmel%20channels%20epsiode%20tvdb
Jimmy Kimmel channels epsiode tvdb.JPG1144×76 15.3 KB

I am just curious where Channels is pulling their data from for the episode information since it appears it is not what the TVDB is using? Thank you.

Our data comes from Gracenote and is the official numbering as used by the TV networks and studios. TVDB is maintained by volunteers and does not always match.

Well that explains why there is a difference. Thanks for the clarification.
