Hello. I have been running plex for a few years. I recently switched my media over to the gsuite. What I can’t seem to stop is the constant plex scanning of my libraries. I have turned off all the plex scanning in the settings but plex still seems to want to scan my libraries. Is there any way to stop plex from scanning my libraries. I would like it to only scan my libraries when I ask it to. When it is scanning my libraries it is very slow due to the rclone. I wish it would only scan when I ask! Is there something in the registry I need to change?
