Hello!

I need to manually update my libraries using command line, there is any way to do it?

Thanks in advance!

You would use something like Curl, wget or a browser to do that

First you need to find the key of the library, and you do that in a browser or using curl or wget, when browsing towards:

http://<IP_OF_PMS>:32400/library/sections?X-Plex-Token=<INSERT_TOKEN_HERE>

Above would output the different libraries, as well as their key

Then when you have the key, use the following url to refresh the library:

http://<IP_OF_PMS>:32400/library/sections/<KEY>/refresh?X-Plex-Token=<INSERT_TOKEN_HERE>

To find your token, look here:
