You can close the the CERT/TLS one.

So back to my problem with this thread… if Plex has incorrect data for recently added movies/shows and the [Plex dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) isn’t working, how do I correct this?

I think the last time I ran into this, here’s how I fixed it:

Stopped the server

Changed my system clock back a year

Started Plex and added my stuff back then after Plex recognized it, stopped the server

Changed the clock to what it should be then started the server and added stuff I wanted to be correctly in the ‘recently added’ section.

That still the preferred way?
