Hello

I have been running Plex via Docker Container for a while and love it, but it always seems to be doing Plex Media Scanner at like 90-120% CPU.  
I have looked up many google searches but apparently I am the only one with this issue.  
I wanna run Plex, I want ot to run 24/7 but “I” want to scan, or really, refresh, each new download. Not as on ongoing burn out my system type thing.
