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!

    Autoscan with Postgresql support (by tminaorg)

  • a-train

    • A-Train, Autoscan's Google Drive integration, only supports Shared Drives and requires Service Account authentication.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • autoscan

    Autoscan replaces the default Plex and Emby behaviour for picking up changes on the file system.

    • 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.
