Hi,
I have Plex set to scan my library automatically and run a partial scan when changes are detected.
In the last few days/weeks I have noticed when I add a file to the library, it takes a few minutes for Plex to recognize something has been added and to begin the scan compared to earlier when it would detect and scan almost immediately. However, if I add the file and manually scan the library, it almost instantly processes.
Anyone having any similar issues or any tips?
Cheers
first question - how big is your library?
I’ve noticed mine started out fast and snappy when i added stuff, but after getting into a few thousand folders, it takes a minute or two. its no big deal its only a couple minutes, but sometimes it just gets STUCK. clicking manually scan stil only seems to do a partial scan, just tells it yes theres been a change.
sometimes it can take a while for the server to iterate thru your entire libraries folder structure to detect changes once it gets big enough. nothing to worry about.
Sorry for the delay on getting back.
TV/Movies all up probably just over 1TB, not that big, I’ve seen bigger. I did a test with a new library with 1 500mb tv file in it and it took like 5 minutes to detect the change.
I did speak to a few others on a different forum and they confirmed the same issue these days when a while back it would instantly detect and process.
