Recently Added TV has old version in the first place

Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files
,

Server Version#: 1.112.0.359
I have some shows in the first places of “Recently Added TV”, they are stuck there.

I did check the creation / file time, changed some files, but they order is still the same.

Do I need to do something special (i did scan library)?

Or is there another way to find the culprit?

Thanks

try to do a search in here. There was a lengthy discussion about this some month or so ago

Thanks, I did, but first, pretty old posts and no real solution. Specific for that I didn’t find something useful.

New episodes are added correctly, but behind the 3 older shows. So when is a show „newer“?

Inspect the Plex media info of the affected episodes. Look at the XML.
Find the addedAt="nnnnnnnnnnn" XML property and put the number in it into a UNIX epoch timestamp conversion tool, like e.g. https://www.epochconverter.com/
You will probably find that the date is in the future.
Which most likely means that either:

  • the server machine had an invalid time/date setting when these episodes were added
  • the episodes have an invalid date/time stamp on their files, and were added during the course of the Plex library creation (which is the only case where Plex will use the file’s date stamp)

Check for the above. In case 2, correct the file date.
Then perform the Plex Dance with the affected shows. (The complete one, in exactly the noted order.)
