I had a smaller drive start to fail. I was able to get my data off and placed on other drive. The content came in as newly added and plex sees some of it as new . Some of my watched stuff is considered new yet some has retained correct spots left off at now, what did I mess up? I point plex to the new drive but did not use the same drive letter was that my issue? ---
