Plex no longer adding movies or shows

Server Version#:1.32.8.7639
Player Version#:1.86.1.4076-a3ab948d

I had other issues with my server so I didnt realize the issue till lately. I added a few episodes from Halo season 2 to my server and clicked scan. Scan took 2 seconds and did not show the new season. I added a movie and the same thing… scan for 2 seconds and nothing.

moved the entire Halo folder out, emptied trash, scanned and halo stayed in the listing.
I am not great at this part of plex so appreciate any help!

fyi used filebot to rename like always.

filebot still moves files as i have for years now.. just plex not updating to add them anymore.

TV Shows
\family\Videos\TV Series\3. TV - Shows{n}/{n} {'Season '+s}/{n} - {s00e00} - {t}

Movies
\family\Videos{genre}{n}{n} ({y})

Drop the show title from your season folder names.

  • Is: Halo Season 1
  • Should be: Season 01

Are you sure that your Plex library has been pointed exactly to
\family\Videos\TV Series\3. TV - Shows
and not just to
\family\Videos\TV Series
or even
\family\Videos
?

Only the top one will work.

i have had it working this way for years now… unless something has changed.

I actually have 3. TV - Shows then under that is kids tv shows, truck shows and tv shows.

this way 3 separate areas show up on left in plex… you can jump to a specific truck or kids shows or all…

every show I have is listed out that way for a long time. Unless a recent version changed that?

This was not the question.

Edit your library named TV Shows
Go to the tab “Add Folders”
which folder path has been added there?

I clicked through, finished, etc…
now everything is working fine. Was not like this when i started posting as I was in windows.

I am golden now all!!!

thx for the support - i know it was a weird one and I didnt get it with the scan circle lasting 2 seconds… now it is going on and on for minutes.
