Verify DEBUG logging is enabled, VERBOSE is disabled.
Restart Plex
Wait 2 minutes
Settings - Server - Troubleshooting - Download Logs.
Attach the ZIP
I’ll look to see if the table is full.

This is also Docker?
```auto

It is not necessary to scan automatically.
Depending on how you have mapped media, Docker may prevent “Automatic scan” from working.
Automatic Scan across the network to a NAS will not work. Network file sharing protocols (SMB / CIFS and NFS ) do not support it.

Do you wish all folders scanned ?
Plex will scan all folders if you wish.
How many TV shows?

Gracias por tu ayuda. He hecho lo que me has indicado y he reiniciado plex. He añadido un nuevo capitulo y una nueva serie, pero nada ocurre. Supongo que es algo relacionado con docker.

Con “Escanear automáticamente mi biblioteca cuando se detectan cambios” habilitado, cuando Plex se reinicia, nos permitirá conocer todos los directorios (carpetas) que está monitoreando.
Me gustaría ver esa lista.
1. Reiniciar plex.
2 Dejar reposar inactivo durante 2 minutos
2. Configuración - Servidor - Solución de problemas - Descargar registros
3. Adjunte el archivo ZIP aquí por favor para mí.

¿Es esto todo lo que tienes que ser monitoreado?
¿Estos directorios son locales para el host o residen en la red?

Es por eso que “automático” no funcionará. Automático no se puede hacer a través de la red / internet. Los protocolos no lo admiten.
Debe configurar el temporizador para escanear periódicamente + Escanear parcial.

¿Habilitó “Ejecutar un análisis parcial cuando se detectan cambios”?
Escaneará la parte superior de cada directorio pero no más adelante cuando lo esté.
Sin él, verificará cada archivo.
