Identify not searching for TV Shows?

So when I try to identify a tv show I don't get the same imdb, tvdb, themoviedb options as when I try to identify a movie.  This just started last night/yesterday. No idea what's going on, or why this would be behaving this way.  I'm using standard file structure TVSHOWS>name>season>episodes  With standard file names and this has only been an issue for the past 11 shows I've since added.

Check that your TV shows library meta-providers did not get unticked/disabled; if they're still checked, try unticking/ticking them back again.

What settings would I find that under?

Where you configured your library initially: Settings>Library tab in the sidebar>Edit desired library.

I think marked the wrong one as solution, how do I change that

Primary give away was no providers listed in your identify image and there are a couple topics with this issue now.

I did a search and I guess I didn't use the right terminology.  Thank you and I apologize for my ignorance in this.
