Command Line?

I know in the past I’ve seen various command-line invocations sprinkled around the forum for plex/8.



Is there any kind of reference for 9 that for either the server or client? I’m just looking for little things, like triggering a pms rescan, etc., but having a full list of what can be done outside the GUI would be very nice.

hi there!



I know how you can trigger a rescan in the terminal. it goes a little something like this:




create alias for easy typing


$ alias pms="~/Library/Application\ Support/Plex/Plex\ Media\ Server.app/Contents/MacOS/Plex\ Media\ Scanner"



# this will show you all ID's of sections you've made in the media manager

$ pms --list



# you can then refresh any individual section like so (replace the "X" with the appropriate ID):

$ pms --scan --section X



# this will show you all available options for PMS:

$ pms --help



I'm not sure if all options that are displayed are fully functional, but tis should help you get started.
