Plex Scanner is always running. I have tried everything, now I have it set to only Update my library once a day and its still scanning 24/7! I have to manually go into task manager and stop the service.
Can anyone help with this?

If you kill the scanner, it will just restart itself. You need to exit PMS to make the scan really stop. The bigger question is what is it scanning. I would kill the scanner, then go delete the scanner log, then wait for the scan to restart and let it run for a few minutes. Grab the scanner log and post it here so we can see what it is doing.
I have it set to scan daily now and the seems to be working. I just checked and, its not scanning. However I cant tell what time it will scan at? I want to be able to tell it to scan at 1:00AM or what ever, a time at not when I an not using, doing backups, etc… Just trying to avoid the 20% CPU usage during the day and when nighttime jobs are running.
would that fall under “Time at which tasks start to run” ?
I guess i can just use “Refresh all libraries during maintenance” and have that do at the time I set. Is Refresh all libraries during maintenance, the same as “Update my library periodically” will it do the same thing, hope you understand where I am going with this and what I am trying to do.
Thanks,
John
