It would be nice to be able to turn on “Maintenance Mode” while working on it, like changing backend NAS shares and let the scanning happen. A space for the Server Owner to put on something like “I am migrating servers right now and Plex is down for the next few days”. ---

Information on planned maintenance (running every 20min or so) Restart information (one time message) and so on. This would be nice to have when you have a shared server.
