Server Version#: 1.19.2.2737
I have recently formatted and rebuilt my PC running Plex, all appears OK until today. I added a new TV show and scan for episodes (there are 10) and the show duly appears with all 10 episodes, correctly matched and nothing amiss … until I spot that episode 1 has also appeared, on its own! So now I have the season with all episodes, and episode 1 alone showing up in my list.
I have combed through the file metadata and compared it to the other 9 episodes with no differences I can see. The filename is in exactly the same format as the others.
I removed the show, emptied trash, cleaned bundles, optimized the DB and readded it to the same effect.
I went one step further and killed the entire plex server, deleted the folder in program files as well, reinstalled … same problem. Although I noticed that it still showed some shows as being “played” so I must be missing some data when I purge it.
I do notice that if I look at the log as it is scanning it hits episode 1 four times as opposed to twice for all other episodes.
Its driving me crazy.
Any suggestions on a) how to fix it and b) what did I miss when removing and reinstalling the server that it still remembers my played files?
Edit: I worked out the problem with B, I found the folder I needed to purge. However after another properly clean reinstall the problem persists, so somehow it must be an issue with the file?
