Plex not finding new media files, nor removing deleted media (auto or manual scan)

Server Version#: 1.40.3.8555 (also happening on 1.41.2.9200)
Player Version#: 4.142.1

I’m stumped why the server isn’t finding new media files … I have Sonarr / Radarr notifying plex when new episodes/movies are being added. I have the automatic scan options enabled in settings, and even when triggering a manual scan it won’t find the files.

When I delete a media file and run a library scan it also doesn’t see that episode was deleted.

I don’t see any errors/warnings in the logs… but i’m getting a ton of "Library section 40 (library name) will be updated because of a change in “/data/media/blabla.mkv” - not sure if this is related.

I have plex (hotio image) running in docker on unraid. I’ve checked permissions are correct (777)
I can even go into the console of the container and copy/rename/move the undetected episode file that’s right next to other episodes in the same folder.

Checked permissions, ran a database repair (GitHub - ChuckPa/PlexDBRepair: Database repair utility for Plex Media Server databases) and it seems to have worked properly.

I was on the latest docker tag … I think this has been happening for about a week now… Went back to an old random release from 6 months ago but still having the same issue.

Any help would be appreciated!

Can you upload a copy of your server logs?

Forgot that in the first place… here you go.

I am seeing a lot of 429 errors (too many requests) Turn off/shut down plex for 30 minutes and then turn it back on.

Thanks, it seems to be behaving now … seeing episodes added/removed automatically.
