After updating Plex Media Server, I seem to have lost all of my watch history and all of my items are set to unmatched. I also had to add my libraries back, any ideas how to recover played history?

You could use your latest backup of the database to get most of that information back (atleast if you have automatic back-ups turned on).

Was this on a NAS? Or on Windows?

Thanks - where is the Plex database stored?
