A few days ago I added some new shows however I seem to be having an odd issue, random episodes of Doctor Who are becoming titled as random episodes of random seasons of the Simpsons. I had a large amount of the Simpsons and I figured deleting them would solve the issue, it did not. I figured refreshing all metadata and emptying trash would solve the issue, it did not. I restored a database backup from a week ago, that also did not solve it. The episodes are titled correctly for plex to pick them up. I am lost.
- do this:
Go to
- Settings - Server - Agents - Shows - TheTVDB
In there, grab the line ‘Local Media Assets’ with your mouse and drag it downwards, so it ends up being at the bottom of the stack of active agents.
Repeat the same under
- Settings - Server - Agents - Shows - TheMovieDatabase
- Settings - Server - Agents - Movies - Plex Movie
- Settings - Server - Agents - Movies - TheMovieDatabase
- check your database for damage
- activate debug logging (not ‘verbose’!)
- quit Plex Server
- wait 1 minute
- start Plex Server
- wait 5 minutes
- fetch log files and attach them here
Or inspect them yourself. Take a look at the Plex Media Server.log file and seek for messages about database corrupt or malformed.
If you find these, you may have to repair your database.

The first step fixed it. Very odd since I’ve always apparently had Local media assets at the top and I have never experienced this particular oddity before. Thank you for your help!
