Thats what I’m trying to tell you it already is the owner is the user that plex runs under as there is only you. I’d share a screen shot but as its 10 it shows my personal email address
I am not talking of the 1st or 2nd folder level in there but maybe just one or a few affected folders and files, hidden deep within this folder structure. It is impossible that you checked them all.
Hence my recommendation that you overwrite both the owner and the access permissions recursively (so the are inherited by each and every item within).
Do AVI/MKV files have metadata that plex can read?
They absolutely do.
While they have metadata which Plex can read (technical aspects of the file as well as informations about the language of the audio track[s]), they have none which Plex uses for its ‘matching’ process. That is currently only the case with mp4 / m4v files.

That has not been the case for me. I’ve have MANY cases where the metadata from AVI/MKV caused an incorrect match.
I don’t know. All I can say is once the metadata was removed, the files stated to match correctly. I don’t even bother anymore as all metadata is remove from every file before I add to plex. Maybe it’s a server version difference, who knows… I’ve seen many posts here having matching issues and it turned out to be metadata related and they weren’t all mp4/m4v. I blame it on solar flares. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
I’ve seen this on day 1 of using Plex. Some load and some don’t. I’ve also notice that where one movie won’t show a particular actor, another movie will. Go figure…
@OttoKerner is there an update? I don’t want to be pushy but maintaining my Plex server is becoming more hassle than its worth. I’ve noticed that TV shows are not being removed from the library too, in some cases after about a month.
I’m thinking just hose plex and reinstall as I just want it to go back to working

I don’t think Plex will actually remove any content(it should flag it with a trash can icon). There is a setting that can change this. SERVER-> LIBRARY-> Empty trash automatically after every scan
@NewPlaza if you still haven’t gotten this working yet and you can install TeamViewer on your server I’d be happy to help you out remotely when you can be available at the server and talk to me on the phone.
I can help you run through everything talked about in this thread and more to diagnose your problem and hopefully get you back up and running properly.
Just PM me with your phone and roughly what time you would want to try this. Also state your timezone. I’m east coast USA (EST).
@cayars Thank you for your offer but I’m not having issues. My server is up and running with no problems described in this thread(aside from an actor face not showing up from time to time).
