hello, this happens on an off, where plex will not add any new media downloaded. mainly movies, for tv shows it seems to have no issues. if I download a movie from “site” and add it to my movies folder on my synology, plex finds it right away, but if I use radarr, it will download and move the movi…

Does this confirm that your downloads are not going to the intermediate directory (which PMS doesn’t monitor) while actively downloading?

Think about this. (Hope I’m summarizing this correctly?) You had Automatic enabled. PMS wouldn’t stop scanning your library nor would it add media. I looked at your logs. We found many examples, of which I showed one pair, where PMS is being triggered to scan multiple times in the same second…
