I’ve just gone throught the [plex dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) and it hasn’t worked… due to emptying the trash the movies are not there at all anymore , readding to the library hasnt trigged it to arrive after a scan too

I think i know where my issue is but have no idea why its happening…

If i go through plex to add a specific folder i can see the movie, however with the ones with the issue they dont show anything in the folder?!"? even though its there??
