For the life of me, I can’t figure out why this process is so taxing. I had all my media (movies and TV) in a folder in documents on my Win 10 machine.I wanted to move items out of Movies to a new library called TV. I show when without issue, but anything else I add in there will not show up in the TV folder in Plex. When I use Windows Explorer - I can see it and play it using the OS player, but it will never show up in plex - I have scanned, changed names, created folders, deleted and pasted, but nothing will show up in Plex. Any idea of what I need to do?

Does your new library have the new path?

Make sure your Plex library is pointing to your new paths like so…
