Sorting Videos by Date Added…

[pkonchar1]

Server Version#: 1.40.5.8897
Player Version#: Not sure where to find this, but it’s the latest version.

My issue, when I sort my videos by date added showing newest first, it brings very old videos to the top.

I checked the computer holding my videos and all dates are correct.

This used to work perfectly, then it all went haywire.

Has anyone else experienced this issue and were you able to fix it?

Thanks so much!!

Pretty sure the filter based on when the video was imported into PlexMediaServer, and has nothing to do with the dates of the file itself.

Exactly, I could care less about the dates on the files themselves, but when I import a new video regardless of date, it should be on top. I have date added sorted by newly added first, but it’s showing old files as new ones.

Settings - Server - Library - “Empty trash automatically after every scan” You want to keep that off if there is any chance that access to the media storage can sometimes have waiting times. Like for instance because the hard drive first needs to spin up its platters from idle state. Or because sometimes the network file share will not react promptly.
