Separating Plex Media Server from Storage
Autoscan Docker - This connects to Radarr and Sonarr and sends a message to Plex to update individual shows/movies
-
Who has a NAS but PMS on another device?
Autoscan - Because plex wont be on the file server anymore I had a problem with partial updates. It cant see when they are made. Autoscan connects to your downloader (Sonarr, Radarr) and tells plex to update when needed.
- Exclude libraries from scheduled scans (not manual scans)
-
Ideas for improving speed of scanning
AutoScan - If you use radarr or sonarr this creates an artificial Partial Scan. It will only scan stuff updated by those programs instead of a full scan

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
- How to refresh a single library via command or API?
What are some alternatives?
When comparing autoscan and autoscan 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.
