Just over the last two hours, my Recently Added TV Shows, started displaying shows that were added Months, if not Years ago, as “new” Recently Added TV Shows. It has/ had been working fine for a very long time. The only thing that I did tonight was add a New TV show folder to the TV Shows Library on a different NAS with 2 newly recorded TV Shows. Any ideas?
Did you have to edit the library several times, in order to re-add a path which got omitted after the first edit?
If you remove a folder path from a library, the items in that path get immediately removed from the library.
And after you re-add the path, they get ingested “as new”.
Another possible snag: if your media are not stored inside the Plex server machine, you never want to activate this checkbox:
Settings - Server - Library - “Empty trash automatically after every scan”
I just added a new path to a different NAS. These were new TV shows that I never had in any library. I will uncheck that box. I never had to before and I have never had my media on the same box as my Plex server.
