Plex randomly thinks content is newly added...???

[Mr. Analog]

So I've had this happen a couple times now where I manually update a library and Plex thinks that all the content under that library is new and it resets all my carefully curated matches and resets all the played statuses.

This is very annoy9ing especially since my collection has grown and includes plenty of movies that need to be manually matched by me (mostly Rifftrax / MST3K stuff)

Anybody else run into this particular problem?

Most of the time I find this is due to the storage being unavailable as I mount a remote share. However there have been bugs in several recent releases that seem to do this at random.

Turning off  "Empty trash automatically after every scan" option under settings>Library might help but if you delete media frequently it can be annoying if they don't clean up.

I'll try that, thanks!
