Plex server and sorting TV Shows by "Date Added" not working as expected
Posted: 04 Jan 2019, 11:40
Hi, Using MrMC 3.71, when I try to sort my TV Shows library from a Plex server by "Date Added" (expecting it to sort top level TV shows as per "Date Last Episode Added") it appears to not work correctly. The shows are ordered somewhat close to last episode added, but still quite incorrect, and I haven't been able to figure out the pattern. The same setting (sort by Date Added) when connecting to the Nas share directly works as expected.
I have tried various combinations, to narrow it down to the combination of MrMC (all platforms) and Plex server. The Official Plex client (Nvidia Shield, Fire TV) does sort the TV shows correctly using "Date Last Episode Added". The MrMC sorts correctly connecting to the file shares directly. MrMC connecting to the Plex is consistent across all platforms (Apple TV 4K, Nvidia Shield, Fire TV 4K), but incorrect. For reference, my plex server is running on Ubuntu, and my media files are stored on a Qnap Nas shared via Samba shares. Would appreciate any suggestions on how to fix this.
