I have encountered a bug in the JSON response of a library section. The JSON response is not valid JSON, as there is a comma missing between two directories. I have encountered this issue in one section, but the other three sections do not have the same issue.   I cannot provide a reproduction plan due to this, however I have attached the HTTP request and response. My media server is always online and is attached to myPlex in case one of the administrators wishes to verify the issue. The section ID is 2.   The issue appears between "Petite Princess Yucie" and "Pita Ten". Search for "}{". ``` {"_elementType":"Directory","ratingKey":7154,"key":"/library/metadata/7154/children","type":"show","title":"Petite Princess Yucie","summary":"Welcome to the Petite Princess Yucie guide at TV Tome.

Thank you for the quick response. I'm currently playing around with a prototype to allow an export of your library to an online site. The idea is to let other people browse around in your library without exposing administrative functionality or having to have your server running. The idea is to, eventually, allow a library to be published to an online source with all metadata and activity information in a clear manner. The earliest prototype can be viewed at [http://www.roelvanuden.nl/plex/](http://www.roelvanuden.nl/plex/) running on a basic Apache server on some cheap hosting. :) ---

Request:    GET [http://10.0.0.3:32400/library/onDeck](http://10.0.0.3:32400/library/onDeck) HTTP/1.1 User-Agent: Fiddler Accept: application/json Host: 10.0.0.3:32400   I'm not experiencing any issue with other requests. it's seems only to be an issue with recentlyAdded. Server is running version, 0.9.8.6.175-88ffbb2. ---

I get the same issue on the recently added section but onDeck works fine. [http://plex.server.ip:32400/library/recentlyAdded](http://plex.server.ip:32400/library/recentlyAdded) when using "{Accept: application/json}" header ---

Any update on when this issue is going to be fixed? I have the exact same issue as Deathspike. {HOST}/library/recentlyAdded is invalid json. Several place are missing ',' so there are '{}' groups. ---
