I 2 years ago backed up my dvds of the 1985 series the Equalizer into plex. Worked fine.

Maybe 18 months ago, I set the DVR to record the revived Equalizer on CBS. I think I set it to keep 5 episodes. Stopped recording it later, it didn’t seem that good.

When I recently looked at the episodes of the older 1985 series I only had like 5 or so in my library. I restored the files. Then all but five disappeared again.

I think the DVR maybe doing this, thouogh I sometime ago removed the record the newer equalizer event.

Has anyone else had a similar issue, and how do I stop the deletion of the almost 80 episodes from the 1985 series.

is the show set to delete after playing?

Maybe. The thing is the event for the newer show was deleted some time ago. I think I had it set to only keep maybe 5 episodes. I can’t be sure.

I meant look at the older show’s settings

The older shows was not recorded off air. It was backed up from dvds.

I did remove a plex server I had on a laptop that I thought perhaps was removing the files. We’ll see if that helps.

I understand but all shows have the setting regardless of where it came from

I see what you mean. I’ve changed those settings to never delete. Hopefully that will fix it.
