Server Version#: 1.41.0.8992  
Player Version#: 4.136.1

Found an issue, in Plex (also Tautulli to help T/S), but have 3 shows that in Plex they always show at the front in “recently added”. After checking Tautulli, these 3 shows show that they were “Added in 73 years”, while ones that are recently added show “Added 18 hours ago” etc. I went to the linux cli (all my PMS are on Debian 11) and saw those 3 shows had files that were somehow dated wrong, so I used Touch to fix all of them. But even after that they still show the same in Plex and Tautulli.

Has anyone else ran across this?

Changing the file date _after_ adding them into Plex will change nothing in Plex.  
You’ll need a full [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) of the affected shows to fix this.

Make sure to only start Plex after ntp has successfully synced the date/time of that machine. If it has a CMOS battery, check its health and replace it if needed.
