My Plex Server stopped automatically scanning for new files

I have to manually trigger Scan Library before new files show up. It looks like the same problem was reported here, but it’s for MacOS:

[Bug] - MacOS 10.14.3 - PMS 1.15.0.659 - "Run a partial scan when changes are detected" Not working

As this discussion only involves Plex pass subscribers, I strongly believe we need to turn off the Beta Channel. The solution being the Public Channel, what’s irking me about the Pass Channel it’s meant to be a feature by Subscription. Yep, we pay to be stuffed around. Oh, the irony in Plex.

Thanks!

Thanks for mentioning this to me, recently there was a Beta release that resulted in the same issue. So in the interim I added a periodical Scan awaiting a fix.

The discussion you linked is from a few years ago, anyway this problem has popped it’s head up again.

Turns out my automatic scan was turned off.
I assume I did that and forgot.
