Unable to view tv & Movie libraries after server update

A good strategy is to

  1. downgrade to the previous server version. You should find an installer in the Plex data folder, in the subfolder Updates
  2. perform a thorough database rebuild, using GitHub - ChuckPa/PlexDBRepair: Database repair utility for Plex Media Server databases
  3. verify that all libraries are working as expected
  4. verify that there is plenty of free space on the storage volume which has the plex data folder on it (on Windows, that is C: by default)
  5. perform the server update again, and upon first start let it do its database updates undisturbed – even if takes a few hours (see Plex Media Server - #612 by drzoidberg33 )
    Don’t let the machine go into hibernation and don’t shut it down during this time!
