I just noticed that plex showed that at 2am this morning “the butler” checked various items. I had to reset the modem and when I updated plex the message was gone. Anyone know anything about a “butler” associated with Plex?

“the butler” is the name for the scheduled tasks.

Lol…in all the time I’ve been running Plex I never noticed and when I did a search on the term and plex nothing came back. Thanks for clarifying.
