Regarding the ‘keep from past xx days’ setting, my problem files are disk rips and placed in a separate sub-directory from anything I DVR.
You can’t do that.
Plex and TV Shows is an area you can’t fiddle with - at all.
TV Show Library/
… Gotham (2014)/ <— this is the new way and is correct - not covered in the handbook (yet)
…Season 01/
…Gotham (2014) - S01E01 - Episode Name Optional.xxx
…Gotham (2014) - S01E02.xxx
That’s the structure you MUST use. No other sub-folders are allowed. That naming is what FileBot would do - so that’s what I do. It ‘just works’.
You are also advised NOT to try to create another ‘Gotham’ show in another TV Show Library - or more bad juju will ensue.
BUT . . .
I first noticed this behavior right around when I tried to start recording new Gothams over the air. It was one of the first things I shut off. So now I’ve no scheduled recordings of Gotham, and no OTA recorded episodes anywhere. Just the ripped episodes stored in an entirely separate sub directory.
Remove that sub folder and Plex Dance® (to rewrite a brand new non-bogus bundle for Gotham) and I’ll bet this odd behavior will vanish.
The Plex Dance®:
- remove show/movie from library
- update library
- empty trash
- clean bundles
https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/200392106-Library-Actions <— update library, empty trash, clean bundles - bring names and structures into compliance/ or the ultimate bundle reboot operation
- replace corrected show/movie into library
- update library
All Steps. In Order. No Shortcuts.
