Entire Music Library showing as recently added

Plex Media Server
1

Server Version#: 4.77.3
Player Version#: (happens in all players, including Plexamp, Plex Web and Apple TV apps)

A few weeks ago, my Plex Server started showing all of my music library as Recently Added. This has happened 2-3 times now in the past few weeks. I’m not making any changes to the library other than dropping in new albums as I get them. I use Recently Added a lot to make sure I listen to new albums I’ve bought, and this behavior makes that basically useless.

Is this happening to anyone else? Is there a bug in a new version or anything I can do to troubleshoot and find the root cause?

“Empty trash automatically after every scan”
This preference must be disabled, if your media storage is not on internal hard drives inside the server machine.

Thank you! I just switched that setting, I’m sure that’s it but just wonder why it didn’t become an issue until a few weeks ago (been using this setup for a few years now). Maybe the setting default changed with an upgrade? Regardless hopefully I’ll be good to go, but will reply back if the issue resurfaces.
