Server Version#: Version 1.25.8.5663  
Player Version#: Version 4.77.3  
  
I am running Plex Server in a Docker container. There have been no issues for a while. I noticed that new movies/tv shows were not being classified properly.

I have discovered that the Plex Movie agent has disappeared and no longer appears as an option in any of the agents section

Any suggestions on how to recover from this?

Plex Movie agent settings are in the advanced section of the individual library settings. Same with the Plex TV Series agent.

Well the odd thing was that after I shutdown and restarted the docker container, everything began to work properly again! Crisis averted.
