So this question has been asked before in a diffrent way see feature request here However I have 2 servers of which my movie library is split between. Both servers share the drives to the plex server. Because I have 2 seprate locations when i do a movie update/scan for new movies it will scan every single item on both drives. I have almost 10k movies and this takes for freaking ever. I only ever add new movies to my new server and the other folder where movies are stored does not ever get updated.
Can you PLEASE add an option to either turn on/off scanning on certain folders or add the option to chose which folder of the media type you want to scan.
Example:
MOVIES
|- U:\Movies
|- X:\Movies
I want it to ONLY scan U:\Movies
Another option would be add flags to the “Plex Media Scanner.exe” file so that I can make a scheduled task to scan that folder periodically.
Example: “C:\Progra~2\Plex Media Server\Plex Media Scanner.exe” /D U:\Movies
If someone mentions the option to “Run a partial scan when changes are detected” this does not work the way you think it should. it does not scan newly added folders.
