August 13, 20205 yr Hi there, I've got docker running a Plex instance. It plays things fine on my local network and generally seems to run fine. I have encountered an issue which I did not encounter on a previous docker Plex install (not unraid based) My issue is that I can't get the media library to update itself. I've got the usual options in Plex set to check for changes to the media library paths etc. I currently have my media paths mapped using unassigned devices / smb share from another file server. The docker image will map to these share paths using access mode RO/Shared. For some reason when new media is put on the share (locally on the other file server) you will see this referenced fine on the share itself. But nothing will update accordingly inside Plex. If I do a manual media scan it will locate the new additions. Wondering if anyone might have any thoughts on how I can resolve this? Would there be some option I've set/not set for the docker container? Is it because I am mapped to a shared drive instead of a local path? Cheers!

Added a new file. It was picked up immediately on my older Plex and nothing happens on the new Plex. If I initiate a manual scan, the new Plex will scan all the media again and then the new file shows up. Cheers
January 1, 20224 yr I got the same problems online file are on unraid array. Do you resolve this issue? Edited January 1, 20224 yr by Alex_75
February 17, 20224 yr Having the same problem, fresh server & shares. Seems to pick up 80% of the content even when deleting the library and starting from scratch. Seems to be no obvious connection between the media that is added and that that isn't.
