While looking at the statistics view I noticed that some movies in my database are classified as series although they're clearly not. I wanted to correct this, but couldn't find any place to change it. I can see it in the detail view but neither in “Info” nor “Extras”.
Where is this information stored? And where did it come from? IMDB?

Re: DVDpedia marks movie as series
1 - Find the offending movies and highlight each one in turn whilst holding the cmd⌘ key
2 - Now all these movies should be highlighted as a group in blue
3 - Click on the Edit button in the Toolbar or Movie > Edit in the Menubar. This will bring up the Edit Multiple Entries panel
4 - Find the Series field > Click in the Tick box ✓ > ensure the cursor is flashing in the Field > press the Delete key even though the field will probably show empty, still press the Delete key > then press OK
5 - This should clear the Series field for those Movies

Re: DVDpedia marks movie as series
Thanks for the reply. I think I should have been more specific. Those movies are each marked as their own series with one episode each. So I have 9 movies listed as series (shows, not seasons) “1” above each column (which stands for number of seasons or episodes?).
They are not grouped in a series/show.
Nonetheless I tried what you described and still couldn't find a “Serie/series” entry.
P.S.: Oh, and about the search plugins: I add movies by searching for the IMDB-ID, like e.g. “tt6474220” (one of the culprits). I was under the impression that in that case I only get info from IMDB? I already looked on the movies’ IMDB pages and couldn't find anything about them being part of any series.
P.P.S.: 8 of the 9 are TV-movies/Streaming site productions or documentaries, not classical movie theatre fare. Maybe that has something to do with it.

Re: DVDpedia marks movie as series
For the Series Statistics to show in the Statistics window the Series field must be populated, otherwise it would not show.
1 - Preferences > Fields > Series (ensure there is a tick in that box)
2 - Whilst in the Edit panel, bottom left Show All or Hide Empty, reverse that setting by clicking on it.
3 - Whilst in the Edit panel look for the Series field
1 - Ensure that in the Main view window the Series column is showing: Menubar > View > Columns > Series (is ticked)
2 - In the Statics window > Series - click on the name of the movie below each bar
3 - this will now display that movie in the Main View window
4 - Is the Series field populated ? If so edit that field
