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

Just started homelabbing in an old Raspberry Pi 3B+
You could also use tdarr to automate transcoding as soon as stuff enters your library so that it’s direct playable when you decide to watch it, but I’ve never needed to try it
- Run Tdarr in background without command prompt console like Radarr, Sonarr, etc
-
Error on Windows with Tdarr v2.00.21 and ExifTool
The only place I can find mention of the script is Tdarr_Server is not closing exiftool.exe after use. #423 and tdarr_server.exe crashes often #412

11600k - Only able to transcode 1 file at a time at 60FPS. Is this normal?
I've had issues with my 11600k and now 11400 in unraid too. Though it's CPU encoding in my case. See https://github.com/HaveAGitGat/Tdarr/issues/777 .
-
Setting up Tdarr for multiple nodes with different encoding hardware
So I read through this issue and I have a couple nodes setup, some with QSV and others with NVENC. The respective node capabilities are designated for exactly one of QSV or NVENC.
-
Questions about fibre channel, why is it so cheap? Can I setup Ethernet over fibre channel?
Have a look at Tdarr for distributed transcoding. I have it on a few nodes and it’s been pretty easy on the network.
-
It’s not logging successful transcodes :-(
I have created a feature request in the Tdarr GitHub page; https://github.com/HaveAGitGat/Tdarr/issues/772
-
Hardware acceleration on old laptop CPU?
You can also use tdarr if you have more than 1 file it can auto transcodes multiple files in a directory all at once. https://github.com/HaveAGitGat/Tdarr
-
is there a program that can check files for corruption?
or this: https://github.com/HaveAGitGat/Tdarr
- Issue with cache folder
What are some alternatives?
When comparing autoscan and Tdarr you can also consider the following projects:
plex_autoscan - Script to assist sonarr/radarr with plex imports. Will only scan the folder that has been imported, instead of the whole library section.
HandBrake - HandBrake's main development repository
Cloudbox - Ansible-based solution for rapidly deploying a Docker containerized cloud media server.
jellyfin-expo - Jellyfin Mobile for iOS
Tautulli-Wiki - Wiki for Tautulli
sickbeard_mp4_automator - Automatically convert video files to a standardized format with metadata tagging to create a beautiful and uniform media library
cloudplow - Automatic rclone remote uploader, with support for multiple remote/folder pairings. UnionFS Cleaner functionality: Deletion of UnionFS whiteout files and their corresponding files on rclone remotes. Automatic remote syncer: Sync between different remotes via a Scaleway server instance, that is created and destroyed at every sync.
