> Hi VanZet, I just always make sure that all files are already on the hard drive so that they are recognized and assigned correctly. If I add something new and it is recognized incorrectly, I edit the file until it is recognized correctly. This means I can delete my media libraries and have them recreated at any time. I love my Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 and my Plex Media Server on it. If you want, you can Backup and Restore your Database!
