Fix incorrect recently added items in Plex

Sometimes Plex saves a addedAt date in the future, in which case the item will always be stuck in the first position.

With this method you don't have to edit the database directly or shut down the server. You can fix it directly in the browser.

Fix the wrong date value

1. Open your browser's developer tools
2. Navigate to the console tab
3. Adjust the following command and paste it into the console

var plexHost = "https://plex.domain.com"
var plexToken = "XXXXXXXXXXX"

var sectionId = "1"
var itemId = "12345"
// 1 for movie, 4 for episode
var typeId = "4"
// unix timestamp
var addedAtValue = "1672527600"

fetch(
  `${plexHost}/library/sections/${sectionId}/all?type=${typeId}&id=${itemId}&addedAt.value=${addedAtValue}&X-Plex-Token=${plexToken}`,
  {"method": "PUT"}
)

Get Plex token / Get item metadata

Unix timestamp conversion

I tried this, but I am getting an error that says:

"Refused to connect to https://x.x.x.x/library...... because it violates the document's security policy."

Any idea how to get around this?

Also, what is the actual itemID out of the XML?

Thanks
