Server Version#: Version 1.24.0.4930 So for what ever reason Plex has been adding most of my TV shows as of late under metadata of Angry Birds Toons. Files and folders are named as follows: American Horror Stories/Season - 01/S01E01 -“Name of Episode” Plex metadata will grab everything for Angry…

The database corruption would still show in the log files. There are degrees of corruption. If minor, your system will still run, but sometimes act weird. If major, Plex Media Server won’t run at all. Your system had none. I found the problem. It is the dash in the season folder. I created a …

Even though you appear to be using the new tv show metadata agent, I wonder if your troubles are caused by an incomplete conversion of the library from an old to the new agent. In which c…

Yes it is /tv. Plex TV series is default agent. Have refreshed metadata both on show and entire library. Done Plex Dance multiple times.
