Plex does some wonky things, like missing external subtitles right there in the same video subfolder, or forgetting/failing to detect a compatible video file for some reason. My goto solution was simply to touch the files so Plex would think they were new and index them.

I used extf4 as storage, but changing to NTFS (yuck) has caused less issues. With the last version the search for subtitles is broken, but at least I can add them manually. I bought Plex Pass for life, but stayed with the free version because it's more stable.

I only had a brief test, but searching seems a little better since this update

I'm on the monthly plan because I wanted to play with GPU transcoding - despite what a lot of folks say it does work in Windows on an AMD iGPU, although I've switched to discrete now (previous server was Ubuntu, but Linux GPU fan control seems to be a mess and we all know the Nvidia driver saga)
