My clock is fine. What about Trakt? I use it.
trakt can update watch status for an episode/movie if you it is flagged as watched there the it updates server. In combination with the setting to delete after X time I have seen at times it causing stuff like this but if you only have Colbert set to delete after x amount of time then probably not related.
I just thought of something. Could it have anything to do with the PC my server is on restarting to do updates, and throwing some torrents into error in Deluge? This happened a couple of days ago, which is why I upgraded the software since it went down anyway. I forced rechecks and let them finish (some were downloading, others seeding).
It doesn’t explain everything, a lot of the stuff that keeps disappearing these past few days was out of Deluge anyway, but not all of it.
Grasping at straws here, but I forgot to mention that earlier, if it makes any difference.
I have not used torrents in a very long time (and have never used Deluge) so can’t say.
Okay, it was just a thought. Probably isn’t relevant anyway.
So if there was nothing in the logs, there’s nothing you can do? This is unsustainable, if everything I add to my server only stays there for a couple of hours. It was fine until I updated.
… Can I downgrade?
Ideally I would think you would want the torrent downloads going to a folder outside of Plex. That way Plex is not trying to process the file while it is still downloading.
If you want to downgrade you can uninstall the current Plex Server and install a previously downloaded version from wherever you keep your previous downloads. If you use the Auto Update within Plex the previous versions should be in your Plex Local App Data folder.
PMS/sonarr/radarr/deluge is hosted on a dedicated PMS machine, all file handling is done by sonarr/radar, with hardlinks so finished torrents can continue seeding until # ratio or # of days is reached. Plex is only pointed to the file location that sonarr/radarr moves the downloaded files to. \Movies and \TV.
This worked fine, until I updated PMS the other day. If you can suggest something else, I’m willing to try.
I’ll look into downgrading tomorrow, and see what happens. Troubleshooting takes forever when it takes a day or two to see if changes have any effect… apparently there are exactly two of us having this issue.
This “Delete episodes after watching” was exactly it. The show with the issues was the only one with this setting to delete after watching. Even though it deleted shows never watched, changing this to “Never” was the solution for me. The Scheduled Maintenance ran just fine last night, no episode deletions.
Can’t thank you enough @BigWheel for the help. I’m going to keep an eye on this thread to see how you fare @iPiedras. Good luck, and sorry if the setting above doesn’t help you out. If I can help out in any way @iPiedras just let me know.
Update to anyone interested:
I turned off everything but the backup in scheduled maintenance and left it off for two days, and none of my stuff disappeared.
After the two days I turned it back on, and everything looks to still be okay. The Status - Alerts section doesn’t show any deleted items, whereas there was a ton of deleted items over the couple of days that I was having this problem. I changed nothing else in my setup anywhere.
Everything seems to be working properly now. I don’t understand it, but at least it’s working again.
Thanks @BigWheel and @cancelthat for the help!
