Hi All
I have recently set up my PMS on unraid after switching from Synology.
I have everything pretty much set up, however I’ve noticed that automatic library scans are not being triggered when new content is added to the relevant folders.
I have both these options ticked under settings \> server \> library
```auto
> Scan my library automatically
> Your library will be updated automatically when changes to library folders are detected.
>
> Run a partial scan when changes are detected
> When changes to library folders are detected, only scan the folder that changed.
```
I have even tried to set up an app called “autoscan” to see if this would help - and whilst I can see in the logs for autoscan that a trigger is sent to Plex nothing is updated in my libraries.
Any help would be appreciated.
