Plex keeps removing my library
Plex keeps removing my library
So, I add my TV shows to plex. It scans them and downloads meta data correctly and displays everything in my library. Titles are correct and they play. But as soon as it's done fetching everything it goes through one by one and removes them all from my library. I'm at a loss.
I know this sounds silly, but on the top of the webpage on your plex: movies do you have it on recommended vs library? For some reason mine defaults to recommended and depending on the folder I am looking at, nothing is there. When I click on Library they magically appear.
I am by no means an expert on the platform, just sharing what I have encountered.
Good luck.
Have you possibly used live tv in plex before? There are settings for series like “remove after viewing” or “only keep 5 episodes”.
Just a thought.
- Are the files being deleted, or are they just not showing in the library?
- What is the file and folder structure of your content?
- Are you duplicating content (perhaps adding a highres version)?
- Have you reviewed the debug logs? If so what does it say at the point of matching content?
Did you figure anything out? Plex can be weird sometimes but it should be full blown deleting files unless you had something setup to to do that.
Other commenter had a good question. Make sure the files are actually deleted and not just missing from plex. If just missing from plex it’s likely a naming issue.
