Recently Added MacOS PMS delayed updating...compared to NAS PMS

Server Version#: 1.32.2.7002
Player Version#: 4.100.1

Thanks in advance for the help!

PMS has been running really well since I created a new implementation a few months ago, however; 1 issue keeps plaguing me…my MacOS PMS is ALWAYS sooooo much slower to update recently added sections compared to my Synology NAS PMS…which updates nearly instantaneously.

Logs attached, any ideas?

Looks like you have your server set to update every 6 hours. Change it to a shorter time period if you want more frequent updates.

Keep in mind, the timer for this starts from when PMS starts up, so if you want this to run at certain times, restart PMS at the appropriate time.

Thank you, @anon18523487, but my NAS PMS implementation doesn’t have library scan interval enabled and instead is refreshed automatically by detected library changes.

My MacOS PMS is setup (now) with identical settings and I just added a new media file to test auto detection and it works perfectly on NAS PMS to (immediately) add detected new content…but MacOS PMS still hasn’t detected the library change.

What am I missing and how can I fix?

Thanks!

Is the Mac using SMB to access files on the Synology?

If so, Plex on the Mac is not notified when new files are added to the NAS. It is a limitation of the SMB file sharing protocol.

@FordGuy61 that must be it, I am using SMB - will select shorter server update schedule like @anon18523487 suggested to grab the content when it’s available.

Just glad that my DB isn’t corrupt - lived through that already and it wasn’t fun!

Thank you both!
