July 15, 20241 yr long story short i have to rebuild my Plex server and i really dont want my shows and movies all showing up with 2024 as date added. Came across this reddit thread of users running some SQL commands to accomplish this. has anyone done the same on UnRaid?
August 31, 20241 yr Did you figure this out? I'm in a similar boat. I need to change dates because they are currently set in the future and therefore stay in recently added. The date is sometime 2038 so I don't want to have to wait that long.

You could try it from the docker's console - the binary in Binhex's container is at /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/'Plex Media Server' You'd just need to dig up your db's location.
September 3, 20241 yr I appreciate it the response. I got it working with help from the folks over at Plex forums. Thanks.

October 4, 20241 yr Note I don't use UnRaid, but it's Linux environment and programs are similar to what I'm familiar with. I just did this using Radarr and Sonarr. Uder the Settings > Media Management, near the bottom is Change File Date and you can select Physical Release Date. A Rescan is required and your associated programs might recognize them as new files.

It's been a busy few weeks and I just didn't think to check back here. Here is the link to my thread where I resolved it on the plex forums. https://forums.plex.tv/t/help-with-editing-database/887211/8
November 28, 20241 yr sadly this did not work for me. the sql command executes just fine no errors, but when i move it back and start plex up all of my movies still say added "an hour ago" EDIT: i just realized that this changed the tvshow added date and not the movies. changing library_section_id = 2 from 2 to 1 did not fix the movies added date. Edit2: strangest thing. it would not work when running on library 1 from my plex docker console, but it did work from my windows computer after i installed PMS to get the SQLite editor. I ran the command saved the database quit out and uploaded to my unraid server and all the dates are correct. Edited November 28, 20241 yr by RonneBlaze
