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

Finally got round to setting up a dashboard using Homepage
Just learned that NZBget has been deprecated. Current ecommendation is to migrate to SABnzbd.

NZBGet is suddenly running at about 3-4MB/s max. The same group and download to the same download location, gets around 17-18MB/s on SABnzbd, the max of the internet connection?
The last issue added to the NZBGet bugtracker is actually someone who says they found a possible security issue. https://github.com/nzbget/nzbget/issues/833

NZBGet development officially abandoned
Looks like https://github.com/nzbget/nzbget.github.io/blob/b718a5a40404bee71cebcc00b3a67f70887050d2/donate.html still has the old link.

Github archived and no updates?
That was 5 months ago. The Github repo was archived on 11/18; therefore it is no longer being updated.

nzbget docker suddenly started hanging on unpack
Based on what I was able to find googling, the binhex nzbget docker had (or still has?) a bug where unpacking just halts. Reloading nzbget or restarting the docker fixes it... until the next time it happens.
- nzbget abandoned?
- Usenet downloader?
