Cannot Create 'TV Shows' Library

Plex Media Server
1

Server Version#: 1.24.0.1483-714cba36
Player Version#: Latest downloadable/Microsoft Edge/Google Chrome

When attempting to create a new ‘TV Shows’ library, I get the “Your changes could not be saved” error (screen shots attached). This doesn’t matter if I’m creating the library locally on my Windows computer (running the Plex server) or on my NAS which is already successfully hosting individual ‘Movies’ and ‘Music’ libraries. I’ve tried to create the library with three different library names (‘Recorded TV’, ‘DVR’, ‘TV DVR’) but neither attempt has been successful. I have also tried to create the library with the latest 64-bit Windows Plex client, Microsoft Edge, and Google Chrome. Again…all fail.

Thoughts?!

Verify that your Plex data folder is not write-protected.

Verify that your main Plex database file is not corrupt:

  1. activate debug logging (not ‘verbose’!)
  2. quit Plex Server
  3. wait 1 minute
  4. start Plex Server
  5. wait 5 minutes
  6. fetch log files and attach them here

Or inspect them yourself. Take a look at the Plex Media Server.log file and seek for messages about database corrupt or malformed.
If you find these, you may have to repair your database.
