TV Shows suddenly not showing up on Home

My plex has been acting weird for weeks and have just been ignoring it.

I have TV Shows set to show on my HOME. And they always have shown up. But all of a sudden the Recently Added tv line isn’t showing up anymore. And if I go to the TV section:

  • the Recommended tab gives me an error.
  • the Library tab seems to work fine, unless I try and sort by Episode. That also gives me an error.
  • the Collections tab works. But some of my collections are giving errors.
  • the Playlists tab works fine.

And not sure if its related, but some tv shows arent showing up, no matter how many times i scan or redo it. And the files are exactly the same.



Any ideas or help would be GREATLY appreciated. I love Plex and I feel like im not able to actually use it properly.

How are you accessing Plex? Plex for Mac, Self Hosted Web App, Plex Web App?

Which server version? 1.22.x or 1.23.x?

Sometimes there’s an oddity with recommendations depending on the “manage recommendations” setup for the Library so perhaps a check there might help? I don’t know why it would impact just the library and not the home but I’ve seen comments about “combined recently released” causing hiccups with Home Screen lines so maybe related?

Edit: You might have a corrupted database as well … might not hurt to post your logs for folks to scan through: Plex Media Server Logs | Plex Support

Your description sounds like one of your episodes has a date saved in the Plex database that isn’t a date so Plex is confused with that data. Try sorting your library by Recently Added and see if the list of shows stops. The bad date is for either the last show shown or the next show that should appear.

You can try to Plex Dance these shows to see if that works. Otherwise you might need to dive into the database manually.
