I have since discovered that my problem possibly relates to the current bugs with the “originally available date” and not being able to change it manually. This only started happening when I upgraded to 1.26 on the NVIDIA Shield and also on a backup Synology server. I don’t believe this has anything to do with the containers of the files because before the update, this worked perfectly and the scanners were able to correctly match the date and put them in order of the airing date of the stream. But I also cannot change the date manually since it will put either the 1969 date or 1970.
There are similar threads on this issue:
-
Plex reads wrong date for date based custom TV show file names
-
Manually changing "Originally Available" date, Plex changes it to 1970-01-01
-
Bug: Date edits revert to 1969-12-31 (+/- a day depending on time zone)
-
DVR Bug: 1.26.0.5715 tagged wrong date to the daily news recording title
I am hoping this will be fixed in another update.
And if it helps anyone, here are my server logs:
