Scanning TV libray finds episodes, but removes others

After you changed it to the TVDB show order did you manually refresh the metadata? Sometimes it doesn’t scan automatically

You may have to Plex dance ← click

If you still get nothing, I would create a temp tv library and put it in that to see if it works there. I’ve seen libraries become corrupted before

Lastly, I would try a manual scan and then upload your logs here afterwards

Enable debug only not verbose and download the zip from the troubleshooting section in the sever settings

I wouldn’t consider nuking the server until you have a better explanation as to what’s happening
