After stumbling onto a problem where my Recently Added media library items got messed up due to leaving the “Empty trash automatically after every scan” setting enabled in the Library configuration section of Plex, I went down a rabit hole to find a fix. I came upon a few posts, most notably: - [https://michielvanerp.wordpress.com/2021/08/22/plex-fix-recently-added/](https://michielvanerp.wordpress.com/2021/08/22/plex-fix-recently-added/) - [https://forums.plex.tv/t/can-no-longer-update-library-database-with-sqlite3/701405](https://forums.plex.tv/t/can-no-longer-update-library-database-with-sqlite3/701405) The workaround seemed reasonable, however, I could see how this can be frustrating for most people to try and implement. And as an avid user of Plex, and someone that loves coding, I decided to knock out a quick tool to do this for you.

Or, if you’re comfortable with simple bash scripts, you can use [fixplextime](https://plex.bevenhall.se/fix/) which requires no compiling at all.
