Hi I want to add some old movies, but doesn’t want the to show up in recently added. Earlier I could either change timestamp on file or use SQL database browser to correct that, but neither solution work anymore. How can I get it to work? I have Plex on Unraid docker but can also install and expo…

See Can no longer update library database with sqlite3 for a similar situation and solution near the bottom. Changing the file’s timestamp won’t work. The added date is based on your system clock. You would need to change the date on your computer, scan the file, change the date back.

It would really be great to have a “Remove from recently added” option. I tend to add a lot of old (read: really OLD) movies that nobody ever watches or even remotely cares about. So, with an option like that, I could easily keep the queue much cleaner. Along those lines, and sorry for hijacking th…

[image] VBB: Along those lines, and sorry for hijacking the thread, what I’d also love to see is an option to “Split apart” at the library level. There’s a filter for duplicates that will show you anything that can be “split”. Not sure how useful splitting an entire library in 1 time would b…

It would be helpful for cases where something is merged, but not a duplicate. This can happen with TV shows, for example when you have two seasons of show 1, and Plex merged another show and added it as a third season, or when it merges shows at the season level, but with non-overlapping episodes. I…

[image] VBB: It would be helpful for cases where something is merged, but not a duplicate. Ah, only for TV shows. when it merges shows at the season level, I see what you mean. I don’t know if a library level split apart would be the solution, but yeah there does need to be a way to iden…

[image] anon18523487: there does need to be a way to identify these easier. I don’t really see another way, if something gets identified, but mismatched and therefore merged. Maybe add a filter for only splittable items, so we can at least get an idea of what’s been merged already.

Hi thanks for all the answers. The first solution with changing the system clock is not easy. Using Unraid with Plex in a Docker. I however found a solution. The solution is this: Copy db to a Windows 10 machine. Launch PowerShell: $PlexDB = “c:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Plex Media Server\Pl…

Anyone that can validate if it’s okay to have the db as 666?

Did you change the user:group back to plex?
