Recently Added Unavailable and error loading the dashboard

Server Version#: plexmediaserver_1.15.3.835-5d4a5c895
Player Version#: latest Roku

A few days ago I noticed that Plex was no longer showing any new content in recently added, just what was there already as of march 25th.

I checked the DB for errors and it had errors so I followed the process to repair the database. Optimized a few times as well

I now get the “error loading the dashboard” error via the web page. Checked the DB again and it says ok, followed the repair instructions and still the same issues. On my Roku and Android Plex clients the recently added shows unavailable. On the Roku it alternates between showing the Movies recently added and TV as unavailable. On the Android app it has both as unavailable. Libraries show up fine.

I can play content. on both the Roku and Android.

I upgraded to the recent and tried downgrading the various version. Installed the most recent Plex server version
plexmediaserver_1.15.3.835-5d4a5c895

So I found a corrupt date/time entry in the database. How do I remove it?

Since no one had an answer I figured it out.

I was able t o use sqlitebrowser in Ubuntu desktop to edit the date fields and set them to NULL. after doing so I was able to restart plex and see my dashboard again. I also used SQLiteStudio-3.2.1 on windows to edit the backup plex db. Had to ftp the db to my windows system edit then replace the odl db with the fixed one as well as copy over the .db-whl and .db-wal file that SQLiteStudio-3.2.1 created after my edits. restarted the backup plex I have in docker and the dashboard returned to normal
