I recently moved all my movies and only changed the Plex docker host path. But not the Plex docker path, which remained the same at: ‘/movies’ As a result, all the movies ‘date added’ dates changed to the date I moved my all the movies (used mv cmd) and no longer has the date the movies were actual…

Change Movies Date Added to file creation date?
