TV Shows "Last Episode Date Added" sorting incorrectly

@BigWheel Any more ideas how to fix this?

Sorry I missed your replies. I’m not sure how to fix. You can set the restrictions to allow a managed user to set up recordings. I don’t think it would have an effect but it can’t hurt to try.

I have imported recordings from another DVR to the same library and it still is not working. Is there no way to debug why this separate table is not being updated?

When it cannot be reproduced regularly it is hard to do.

Is the name of the table actually “UpdatedAt” because I don’t have a table of that name?

@BigWheel Could you please tell me the name of the table so that I can make sure it is there and maybe manually add a row to try to jump start this thing working?

The table you are looking for is “metadata_items”. Each show will have an entry. The field “updated_at” is suppose to get updated when a new episode is added. Somehow this is not working for your DVR’d content, so the order comes out wrong when you sort by the date.

You can fix this temporarily by changing that value, but it will be wrong again when you add the next episode.

To be clear, you are recording shows using Plex DVR right?

Yes. You can see screenshots of the DVR schedule compared to the sort above.

Ok. Are you using a post-processing script, other than Plex’s ad marking/removal option?

No. I’m not even using the commercial removal.
