This is nice, but if you're going to all this trouble then why aren't you just running PlexUpdate? It does everything in this shortcut (checking active streams and updating), but does it all automatically without you manually having to press a button.

1 project | /r/PleX | 23 Oct 2021

https://github.com/mrworf/plexupdate After using this script to update my plex server all my media is Unavailable. I don't think it's a permission problem because I changed the permission to 777 for all my files and folders.
