Server Version#: 1.21.1.3766 Player Version#: Plex client on Fire Stick 4K and Nvidia Shield TV Pro PMS logs: (File removed) This issue happens randomly. After I watch a certain episode/movie, I delete them from the Plex client. Sometimes, the delete is successful the first time around but most of the times I delete the file and nothing happens (no error and all). I have to go back to the Plex home section and then navigate back to the same episode/movie and do the deletion again. In the PMS logs I posted, I’ve tried deleting S03E01, E02, and E03 and had issues with two of those episodes (I forgot which but it should show in the logs for sure). ---
