Server Version#: 1.24.4.5081  
I have on an External hard drive, 2 Tera of media TV show, over 88 different seasons and when I add this folder to my Plex server, only 9 shows with a few episode show up, not even the complete season. Same thing is happening with my movie that are also on an external hard drive. In the past I was able to add my files just fine. I have no idea what has changed. Any help would be appreciated.
