Plex not scanning all episodes

Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files
21

Since this issue really wasn’t making any sense it was clear that the TVDB API was not the root cause, I took a different approach:

  • Removed the entire season of both shows from the NAS server entirely
  • Empty Trash
  • Optimize Database
  • Clean Bundles
  • Waited 2 days and repeated the 3 steps above (Empty, Optimize, Clean)
  • Restart the NAS (which restarts Plex)
  • Copy the seasons back to the server

Whatever the root cause of this issue was, the above somehow resolved itself. The best I can come up with is a caching issue that was cleared with the 2 days and restart. Pure speculation of course. Anyway, all my episodes are now there for both shows, including new episodes I’ve added since.

I do appreciate everyone’s help on this though.

The same solution worked for me,

  • Removed the entire season of both shows from the NAS server entirely
  • Empty Trash
  • Optimize Database
  • Clean Bundles
  • Restart the Plex
  • Copy the seasons back to the server

I still don’t know what could have caused it, but you logs still don’t have the debug info in it. There is something going on with your server.
