Hi guys not sure it anyone else has had this issue and can point me in the right direction. I have setup the latest Plex version and all was going well so I then added my TV show folder for Plex to scan again all was going well until I checked the server this morning and from what I can tell Plex seems to be getting confused somewhere. All the folders had scanned in correctly however it seems to be stuck on a loop by removing episodes and full seasons from one show and adding them to a random series. So not the random series has over 1000 episodes when in actual fact it only should have 8 episodes.

Anyone any ideas on fixing the library scanning?

Going to bet its a file naming issue, if you post your logs and provide the series names we can confirm that.
