# This will update plex libraries manually from the command line. # | |
# This will work on centos 7 but I can't make any guarantees about other OSes or platforms. # | |
# If you're running plex on mac os x or windows, get a real OS. # | |
# # | |
# The exports below are important because if you don't have all of them set, you will get no result when you go to list # | |
# ./Plex\ Media\ Scanner --list # | |
# This will show you all of your libraries and their numbers. # | |
# # | |
# The idea is that you should schedule this in a cron job. Here is my example of how I scheduled my script. # | |

## These exports are important. Don't forget them. | |
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib/plexmediaserver" | |
LANG="en_US.UTF-8" | |
export PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_MAX_PLUGIN_PROCS="6" | |
export PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_TMPDIR="/tmp" | |
export PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_HOME="/usr/lib/plexmediaserver" | |
export PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR="/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support" | |
## Plex library number, my example is 2, yours will be different ## | |
## Can get this by running /usr/bin/plexmediaserver/Plex\ Media\ Scanner --list ## | |
PLEXLIBNUM="2" | |
## This will scan for new media, then perform a refresh which will | |
## update all the metadata associated with the media. | |
/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex\ Media\ Scanner -s -r -c "${PLEXLIBNUM}" |
I'll 2nd this. I copied it into a new .sh file and after setting the permissions, I ran it manually and could see it scanning in my Plex web interface.
This does not work anymore (besides -s being deprecated) they renamed the table columns:
soci_error: sqlite3_statement_backend::prepare: no such column: library_sections.content_changed_at
The tool crashes with this on a -s -c 1
and even on a simple --list
.
Server version: v1.30.1.6562-915986d62
Edit:
What worked for me, is to login to the web UI and create a curl request for refreshing (the chrome devtools allow you to create a curl request in the network tab to replay any request made) , which is basically a request to: https://localhost:32400/library/sections/1/refresh
with all the parameters used in the web UI (I hope my X-Plex-Token
does not expire... though)
Sweet! Thanks man!
