Expose New Plex Music scanner to CLI

Plex Media Server
1

Server Version#: 1.25.4.5487
Player Version#: n/a

This has been asked a few times, however no response has been given. As a plex pass user I would like to be able to initiate the new Plex Music scanner, including Audio fingerprinting, from the commandline.

This has a number of uses which is why the CLI is an option for normal media scanners, and It is an important feature to me to use a project to scan files and initiate a scan individually.

At the moment I have to trigger a full music library scan to add new files which is resource intensive.

have you had a chance to look at Plex Media Scanner via Command Line | Plex Support ?

curious if there is there something specific that isn’t supported by these options

The problem is that the New Plex Music scanner doesn’t pick up the media when called via CMD line. Only when called from the web server either by manually scanning or a webhook type request.
