So my setup is
- Proxmox server with the main HDD for media
- Plex VM with auto library refresh enabled
- My main windows pc at home
I copied all my media folders/files to a folder on proxmox server hdd and named it media-server
I attached this hdd as vda and mounted it on the plex vm so it can read all the files and add it to the library
I created a smb share from proxmox server hdd so i can update my library with all new movies or series
So I thought that with this setup whenever i add new movie to the proxmox hdd from my windows pc it will make plex library auto refresh and scan to add the new data
However this isn’t happening when i add new folder or change anything it doesn’t reflect on plex, i even tried to manually scan library but sometimes it work and sometimes it doesn’t
What could be wrong with this setup?
If scanning manually doesn’t work, then there’s a larger issue here. Faulty HD perhaps?
Otherwise, this happens to me when Plex is using a folder that is mounted on a file system with no inotify support, such as network shares. You mention you have SMB, but it’s not clear if Plex is using the folder over network or not.
