I love the automatic scan and partial scan feature. But one of my libraries is huge and constantly updating (and it’s a music library), so the scanning takes an absurd amount of time. Because of this one library, I am forced to disable the automatic and partial scanning system-wide on all my Plex libraries. I’d love to see a way to enable automatic / partial scanning on select libraries only.

Cheers!
