Hi,  
I recently updated my synology server to the latest version. Plex working fine however, when I add new contents to my media folders, Plex doesn’t scan that specific folder for any new additions. I have to manually click on “scan library files”

What is the work round?

I have also set a one off schedule tasked on synology using this link [Synology FAQ - Questions, Answers, and How-To's - #22 by ChuckPa](https://forums.plex.tv/t/synology-faq-questions-answers-and-a-few-how-tos/490215/22)

But still not working…

Can you post [server logs?](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200250417-plex-media-server-log-files/)

Hi is there any updates? Artwork is not getting updated and when I click on “fix match” no contents are being shown.

@Jubz26

DEBUG [server logs,](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200250417-plex-media-server-log-files/) captured after you add media / recreate this for us, are important.

We have no “update” because we don’t know what the problem is yet
