Hi Guys, not sure why but an old series (Mrs Brown’s Boys) keeps showing as the first entry in my recently added TV shows. The show itself has not aired for years and I have double checked the modified date in the root directory + series and all files are a couple of years since modified?
Anything I can check to get this updated?
Kind regards
Tylor
Any ideas?
Using Plex Web, change the view to Episodes, then sort by Date Added in descending order (newest first). Get me the XML for the first episode for that series shown in that list.
Apologies… how do I do this using google chrome?

I think I didn’t see as was trying to get to “info” from season folder, looks like you have to do it at each episode level.

PMS thinks your file was added at Tue, 19 Jan 2038 03:14:07 GMT. So either a clock got mixed up somewhere, that date got read from your file (which it shouldn’t be doing), or a glitch changed the time.
Follow the steps from this other post, https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/comment/908454/#Comment_908454, for that episode (and any other episodes you think are wrong) and you should be good.
Edit - This was reset the added date to today. If you don’t want that, change the system date on your computer first to the date you want. Remember to change it back when you are done.
Perfect, thanks MovieFan
Mine was doing this for about 6 different shows…the XML did indeed show the “addedAt” parameter as being sometime in 2037 when converted from the UNIX timestamp.
Here’s what I did:
sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\ Support/Plex\ Media\ Server/Plug-in\ Support/Databases/com.plexapp.plugins.library.db "UPDATE metadata_items SET added_at = created_at WHERE DATETIME(added_at) > DATETIME('now');"
This fixed mine so the “Recently Added” on my PlexWeb home and all devices now accurately reflects what was added and when.
worked like a charm. Thank you!
