I have a library with 650 movies. When I add a new movie it does not show up on “recently added”, but it always the same Jason Bourne movie that show up. I have eveen look at the XML file at the “addedad” date is correct on the new one. But everytime I scan the jason Bourne movie “addedad” get update. i have other library with movie and they work. I have tried: 1. move file out of folder and back in 2. delete whole library and made a brand new one at rescanned. anybody with the same issue? ---

Going to bet you probably have database corruption. What OS are you running the server on? ---

Start with [https://github.com/ChuckPa/PlexDBRepair](https://github.com/ChuckPa/PlexDBRepair) if that doesnt work, get a fresh set of your [server logs](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200250417-plex-media-server-log-files/) for us to take a look at. ---

No, you can run the script on most platforms – they’re listed on the page… the regular script works on most Linux / Mac based platforms and there’s a dedicated version for Windows. The page also lists examples how to run it on specific platforms. ---

It will work on MacOS otherwise I wouldnt have suggested it, see the section labeled: `Using DBRepair from the command line on MacOS` and the recommended options higher up on the page. ---
