So, I’ve just installed PLEX on a new VM running Ubuntu Server 16.04. I’ve done this several times and it’s the first time Plex gives me some horsesh*t.
(Missing season 1 when you can see on the previous screenshots that it is on the disk, and it is named as the other ones)
Now, I’ve tried pretty much everything : delete the library then recreate it so it can run through the files again, dissociate and re-associate, refresh metadatas… Nothing seems to work.
I’ll put the logs right after I do a disk scan attached to this message.
Thanks in advance for your help!
PS : I have to add, so you guys have all the infos you need, that all these movies / TV shows came from a previous PLEX installation where they were working and recognized just fine. I used Sonarr and Radarr to rename and organize them.
Look at the permissions you show. PMS can’t see the main movie file. They are owned by root, group root. You have not given permission for plex to read it
Because Plex has DVR capability and will record media that you’ll ultimate want to manage / move around, you want ownership of the files but you still want to give Plex permission to write into those directories.
Here’s how to do it… You use inheritance (officially known as setuid and setgid flags)
Well, sir, you were right! Thanks a lot, PLEX now displays all my movies and TV shows correctly.
Last problem before I can get this beast going is the damn posters. They’re still not coming for my TV shows. I tried to add one movie though and it worked like a charm : PLEX got dem posters, dem descriptions and dem subtitles right.
Alright @ChuckPA nevermind, found how : edit library settings, choose TMDB instead of TVDB. Still no luck though :
Refreshing metadatas…
MEH.
Isn’t it some kind of cache PLEX is using? Cause I’m thinking, since I imported all these TV shows from a previous PLEX installation, where they all had posters, it may have done something bad during the process. Maybe if I could find the path where those posters are stored on Ubuntu and erase them, then refresh the metadatas…
If you brought over the entire previous instance using a tar image, they should still be there.
To track down where they actually exist in the bundles is a PITA because you must query 4 different tables in the DB manually in order to find the information you need to construct the actual file pathname. NOT pretty
Dance the series because TMDB will engage as it matches again for the first time

I brought the entire previous instance using rsync -r -v --progress -e ssh user@previousPLEX:/home/plex /home/plex/
I understand it would be a hassle, but I do not understand the whole “Dance the series because TMDB will engage as it matches again for the first time” sentence. I’m really sorry that my english isn’t up to your level, but could you please reformulate / elaborate?

I didn’t do it there, but in Server settings under Setting (up right)>Server>Agents>shows redone the order and it worked perfectly fine
