Server Version#: Version 1.24.5.5173 Player Version#: Web Version 4.63.0 When I select to either; Scan Library Files or Update Library…NOTHING happens. Many new movies are not available because of this. How do I fix? ---

[Edit your library](https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/200289266-Editing-Libraries "Edit your library"), go to the “Add Folder” tab how many folder paths are there? If there is only one, verify that it’s pointing to a valid location. If there are more than one, are all folder paths pointing to a location that is: - existent - accessible - not entirely empty ? ---
