TV Shows not being recognized/misrecognized after server migration. Not a naming issue

Server Version#: 1.32.7.7621-871adbd44-x86_64.qpkg
Player Version#: 4.108.0

I recently bought a new Qnap TVS-h874 and migrated my Plex server from my old TVS-473. My movies and music made the transfer without issue, but TV shows are a mess. It’s completely ignoring thousands of files (If I click the activity button in the top right I can see Plex looking in the folders but not pulling anything) The files it does bring into plex are all labeled as the first show in my library, “24”. I’ve gone in and deleted all of the TV Metadata via WinSCP, Deleted and recreated the TV shows Library (multiple times), restarted the server multiple times, tried the different scanners plex offers, updated ownership of the files on the server, renamed every file in my library (although the existing file names worked fine on the older server), but still get the same result, about 250 episodes of “24”. I’m frustrated and out of moves.

Note, I’m switching operating systems from QTS to QuTS (ZFS) not sure if that’s a factor but as I mentioned, my movies and music transferred without issue.

Database and logs too big to upload, you can view them at this Onedrive link.

3 dots next to the library → Manage Library → Edit → Add Folders

Can you screen shot the folder you added

Generally when everything is combined in to one giant mess of a show like this it’s because you’ve pointed the library a level or two above where it should be

It’s a Slim ZFS Partition. See attached SC’s for basic folder organization



It appears you’ve added /share/ZFS18_DATA to your tv show library – this should be /share/ZFS18_DATA/TV Shows (hence JaysPlex7 earlier question which folder you have assigned to the library).

Right now, Plex sees the folder TV Shows as a show-level folder and considers it to be the one and only show all subsequent files belong to.

Ah, I misunderstood what JaysPlex7 was asking. Looks like that is indeed the issue. New to ZFS, thank you for clearing that up so I can hold onto whatever sanity I have left.
