This is also happening to me! Nothing changed in my drives or the plex category that I created. I was able to add some on Saturday and then when I added a few more later on, they did not show. I tried removing them in finder (mac) and then readding them, no dice I also tried making a new folder an…

It has nothing to do with file names. For example, I added a few new episodes of Alone. I checked the files names with a previous season (which are showing up in plex just fine) and the file names for the recent episodes followed the same naming scheme, and nothing shows up.

Here is the library category file directory /Volumes/1.) TV (current)/1d.) TV (docu)

Additionally, I just tried deleting a library category from the left hand margin, I thought I would just readd it and it would help. I clicked ‘delete’, confirmed I wanted to delete the library, and it hasn’t left the left hand margin list! I even cleared all browser history, re logged in, and it’s…

could be a corrupted database… if so you should see related errors in your server logs If that’s the case, you can attempt to repair it. If the repair doesn’t succeed you could try restoring a backup of your database (created during a scheduled maintenance) – though depending on how long the issue…

May we have some DEBUG log files ZIPs please? This sounds like a permissions problem. Those would show in the logs. We can’t help troubleshoot what we can’t see. Sorry :man_shrugging:
