Over night, Plex has decided that it can’t see any of my library files for movies and TV shows. They were fine before, they have been for years. Only music is unaffected.

I get a message saying “movies is empty. Expecting more? Visit the manage libraries page”

I’ve tried creating a new library pointing to the same directory, but that one shows the same error in the end.

Had a look on the forums, but not found anything relevant

Ubuntu… But I just realised I’ve been ransomwared.

Guess I’m spending my Monday recovering from backups. Fun fun fun!

Oh no! Well I’m glad you were able to figure it out, I hope that you are able to recover as much as possible.

Thank you, it’s very kind of you to say. Thankfully, I hadn’t made any changes in the last few days so everything is fully backed up. A silver lining to an otherwise unfortunate event

Are people ransomwaring home media accounts now? This is sub optimal.
