Plex stopped seeing newly added media

[ovizii]

I have a working combo of sonarr + couchpotato + sabnzbd + plex. All installed via plugins.

It looks like a few days ago (I didn't immediately notice) Plex stopped seeing newly added media. I didn't do any major udpates, all I can remember doing is updating sabnzbd from 1.x to the latest 2.2. plugin version and also updating plex to the latest plugin version.

I manually checked the media files, permissions are identical. i.e. a season of a series that Plex sees has the same permissions as a newly downloaded season which Plex does not see.

Can someone confirm that Plex does indeed pick up newly added media files with the latest plex + sabnzbd plugin versions please just to make sure this is my problem and not a generic problem with the latest updates.

I checked /var/db/plexdata/Plex Media Server/Logs/Plex\ Media\ Server.log and found a few errros, but not sure what to make of them:

apologies, it started working right after posting this post. I have done nothing new since posting though. I had restarted the plex media server service and even the jail a couple of times to no avail.

I had instructed plex to rescan/refresh its libraries. nothing.

no it just works. no idea why. and the logs I quoted above, show no different entries than those except:
