Initial: My Music have a Path “/volume1/data/”. Scanner is Plex Music. I have a very large Music Folder, so i add Music manual to Plex with the command line, to prevent full scanns.

So, in my envoirment i take:

export PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR=“/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support”
export PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_HOME=/usr/lib/plexmediaserver
export PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_MAX_PLUGIN_PROCS=6
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/lib

Then for manual (Script) adding Folders to my Music Library (c4) i take to follow command:

sudo -u plex “/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex Media Scanner” -s -c 4 -d “/volume1/data/ABBA/Gold_(1992)”

This command is successfull on the bash (no error). In the Plex Alterts is NOTHING. No new Artist, no new Album. Then i take the command (Path) without the Album:

sudo -u plex “/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex Media Scanner” -s -c 4 -d “/volume1/data/ABBA”

This command is successfull on the bash (no error). In the Plex Alerts i see, the “scanning ABBA”. But no new Artist/Album is show up in the Plex itself.

Hope you understand and can reproduce

If you have any Questions, please ask me.
Thanks a lot

What is the status of this issue? As of 1.19.3.2831, the command line scanner does not work with Music libraries.

Any News from the DEV Team to the Commandline Scanner Problem?

I’m also curious about the status of this issue. Any news?
