Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Plex Autoscan FOR WINDOWS
Use Cloudbox/autoscan instead. Plex Autoscan is not maintained anymore, you can see the repository is archived.
-
Almost instant library scanning compared to built-in method, also much more lightweight for giant libraries. I'm not the author, I just added Postgres support and want to see it merged!
If you use *arr to manage your downloads try setting up the "Connect" section of it with Plex and only scanning when you import/add new media to save on the periodic scans for no reason, or perhaps check out https://github.com/cloudbox/autoscan as I've heard good things about this as well.

Should Plex move away from SQLite?
You should now use this instead: https://github.com/Cloudbox/autoscan

I've written a script to allow sonarr/radarr to inform tdarr of new/changed/deleted files
This tool is designed to let sonarr/radarr directly communicate with tdarr, much like autoscan is able to communicate between sonarr/radarr and plex/emby/jellyfin.

Plex + Autoscan (and connector) for refreshing metadata (for rclone mount users)
The solution to have plex refresh the metadata after a bazarr subtitle add is to use autoscan. NOT plex_autoscan, but autoscan. This is the newer version. You also need autoscan-adapter, the critical piece of the puzzle. Autoscan by itself lets bazarr/sonarr/etc notify plex to update libraries. The autoscan-adapter helps autoscan be able to actually refresh plex metadata so the new subtitles from bazarr can be found. This is all actually very easy to implement using docker-compose. Refer to the docker-compose setup in the autoscan-adapter github.

I have Docker instance with exposed folders which are SMB mounted drives. Actual files are on different device mounted via fstab. If I add movie it will not automatically scan the folder. I have to Scan manually. Any recommendation how to fix this?
I recommand using Autoscan. If you're using the *arr stack to download your medias, it can then automatically trigger a scan. The *arr stack can do this without autoscan for jellyfin, but the advantage of autoscan is that you can plug it to any of your other means of downloading medias by just calling its webhook

I'm fine with the basics of Plex - now what can I do to really use plex to it's full potential?
With Tautulli you have a better monitoring system than what Plex offers. Streaming history split by user, you can add notifications to a lot of services like Slack, email and so on. You can even create newsletters being sent out to users based on what was added to your server.

My Overkill Home Network – Complete Details 2023
> How hard is this to configure?
Not at all. Just ensure that you have WoL enabled on the host machine and than proceed to send a magic packet. You could even do this with Home Assistant [1] if you are into that. I did this with a script that used tcpdump to monitor for incoming traffic [2] for Plex with an additional (dummy) Plex server on the Pi. I also remember faintly that I had to add 1 library and 1 video file to make this work though.
Powering down - or sleep - is a bit harder. I built a 'Sleep on LAN' app [3] for myself years ago that could power down (or sleep) a system on demand using a REST API. I used this and Tautulli [3] with Home Assistant that would check if there were any active streams and if there wasn't any activity for a specified amount of time I would send a SoL request to my service.
As you can see it isn't super hard or complicated, but a bit cumbersome to find all the moving bits and make it work. But when it does, it's IMHO fantastic.

Can I copy the metadata from one show to another?
In that case then I don't think there will be an easy way to transfer the metadata unfortunately (outside of some user-created script). One option that would at least help with the manual re-entry would be to use Tautulli's export feature or WebTools-NG's ExportTools to create a spreadsheet that has all the information in one place, and should be easier to copy/paste.

Plex GPU transcoding on unRaid
Also, take a look at Tautulli, tautulli.com. Its dashboard has more info than Plex. It shows transcode speed (1.0 = real time) and if subtitles are burning/transcoding/etc.

Best programs to use alongside Plex?
Tautulli for monitoring and notifications, plus some scripts for "maintenance," such as killing 4K transcodes and stopping remote streams after they've been paused for X minutes. These are from the JBOPS repository.

Plex health check
Tautulli. There's a feature where you can trigger notifications from events on your server, not just when it's down. I'm not sure there's a function to get your server to auto restart though.

Why is it transcoding to SDR ?
Looks like Tautulli's mobile companion app.

Import Spreadsheet of Metadata
The data Tautulli exports is great if you want to throw it in Excel to analyze your library, or as a backup of all the content you have on your server, but isn't really meant to be imported at a later date (the exporter guide. You should instead follow the Move an Install to Another System guide to move your server data to a new machine.
