Server Version#: 1.25.9.5673-bf5697c5d Player Version#: Hi guys, I recently realised that I lost all of my movies from my movies library. My plex setup is in docker and I’ve re-instated the containers numerous times. I even renamed my old config files, created a new blank config folder, but wh…

[image] Sucalakafufu: I did some extra testing and it looks like if I add a new file to a subdirectory , all of the files in that subdirectory are no longer recognized by Plex after the next scan. Are you using Sonarr to set permissions? If not, you need to. Sonarr will write files using…

[image] ChuckPa: If not, you need to. Sonarr will write files using its username (which doesn’t grant PMS access). It will then change the directory permissions. Setting directory permissions 755 and file permissions 644 will allow PMS to read them. Be advised, it does turn off the Synology AC…

[image] The library where I would focus is “X:\TV\TV” if we are looking through logs. Permissions have not changed since before the Plex update and suddenly Plex does not like subfolders after adding a new file to them. If you do not add or remove anything from a subfolder, Plex still remembers all…

Can you provide an example of something under X:\TV\TV that is missing from the logs you pointed to?

@Sucalakafufu My apologies. Don’t know how I got “Syno” in my head. What are you using for storage? I would like to break this out as it’s Windows in a Linux & Docker thread. and this is a Windows issue you’re reporting – to which I can be of no effective help other than the full path length (…

From my previous post: Here is one of the paths in “X:\TV\TV” that is having the issue: PS X:\TV\TV> tree .\Walker\ /f Folder PATH listing for volume MEDIA Volume serial number is 000000FB 6ED0:4166 X:\TV\TV\WALKER ├───Season 1 │ Walker [S1.E01]- Pilot.mp4 │ Walker [S1.E02]- Back in th…

[image] ChuckPa: What are you using for storage? I am currently using Stablebit Drivepool with drives connected to the actual server. [image] ChuckPa: I would like to break this out as it’s Windows in a Linux & Docker thread. All good thanks for that. [image] ChuckPa: What happen…

@Sucalakafufu can you do me a favor and make a new library with just X:\TV\TV in it? I think you having the same media in multiple places may be confusing Plex.

Are you using symlinks or hardlinks ? Symlinks / hard links will mess up plex because of duplication detection. It will find it in one location then ignore it in another because it’s effectively a duplicate. I don’t know what is going on. I did see the path length problem and wanted to alert abo…

@ChuckPa Im starting to suspect that Sucalakafufu has multiple directories in Plex, and is moving data between them, and may be confusing plex. I just requested a that they create a new library and see if they can re-create the issue with a single base path.
