Server Version#: 4.76.1 Player Version#: N/A I just added 3 episodes of a new serie which was not yet on the Plex Server. Once scanned, everything has been added correctly but these 3 episodes. They simply are not available on PLEX (using the browser on the server machine). I imagine these episodes were matched to an existing serie in the database but I can’t figure which one… I would query the database but can’t figure out where (table/column) the file path should be searched to figure out how to ---

1. Switch your library to display `Episodes`. 2. Look for the episodes - Step 1: Filter the library for `Duplicates` to identify episodes that have multiple files associated to them - Step 2: Sort the library by `Date added` and check if the last episodes don’t seem to belong there 3. Look at the episode details to confirm if they contain the newly added files (e.g. using ✏ \> `Info` or `⋮` \> `Get Info`). # If that doesn’t provide any details you could use some 3rd party tools like WebTools-NG to export data from your library and reverse-engineer where those files of yours ended up. # However… generally sticking to the naming schema will prevent such mishaps. ---

Thank you very much for your time. Unfortunately, this did no fix my problem since )1) there were like 2600 false duplicates present there since I had to move the whole content of a big HD and (2) Because there were finally, after checking out carefully, no mismatched episodes (my error in assumption). Additionally, the filename scheme is respected carefully for everything I add… Forunately, by moving and renaming the files (adding the year with parenthesis) made so the episodes finally appeared. I’d still like to know how to query the database directly, if I could get a chart of what info is in which table, that’d be way more productive… Thanks again for your time, much appreciated. ---
