Same Library is shown multiple times in search

Server Version#: 1.40.3
Player Version#: Windows 1.94.1

When I search for movies, sometimes there are 2 or 3 results with the same library name. I remember, when I create the libraries the first time, I added 2 libraries with the name “Movies”, but one was deleted soon after. Also it doesn’t matter which one I click, the result is the same.

How can I “merge” them?

Thanks

  1. verify that your plex database is not damaged. Perform the in-depth restoration anyway. GitHub - ChuckPa/PlexDBRepair: Database repair utility for Plex Media Server databases
  2. set the server maintenance period to a time where your server is actually running. Do not shut it down until the maintenance period is over. https://support.plex.tv/articles/201553286-scheduled-tasks/
  3. after doing larger changes (like the above mentioned deletion of whole libraries), give the server plenty of time to perform its database maintenance. It will perform a quick optimization of its database file automatically after larger changes. Don’t forcefully shut it down while it is busy doing that. Otherwise your database can get damaged, which in turn can lead to complete data loss, if not catched and resolved.
  4. Never, ever let the storage volume which houses the Plex data folder become filled up. If that happens, your database can get damaged.
  5. Always perform a clean shutdown of the operating system. Never just cut the power to switch off your server device. Otherwise your database can get damaged.
