please don’t hijack other threads… that’s just creating confusion on all ends. -\> moved your post to a new thread. # Would you mind sharing some more details… - have you checked Plex can see the files (permissions etc.)? - is it not recognizing some of the files or all of them? (e.g. can you still play files already scanned/matched?) - what server version do you have installed? - example of your file naming / folder structure ---

I just updated to 1.18.3.2156 and am having the same issue. I added a few tv shows and the ones that were already scanned and in the database showed up but a new tv show folder isn’t showing up. I have scanned the folder a few times. I also notice that now my remote access is going in and out randomly since updating. ---

> [@BlazingChaos](#): > > ok so it is probably the update Maybe, maybe not. I’ve got Version 1.18.3.2156 running and no issues with new TV shows. Since it’s anew TV show folder are you sure it’s not a permission issue with the folder? ---
