Plex works on inotify to pick up changes which fuse doesn't have.

You'd either trigger with Sonarr/Radarr/etc or you can use something like:

Thanks. Is there any problem in manually triggering the whole library scan? Maybe some Google Drive API limit?

API limit is 1 billion API hits per day so no.

i do not use plex and i do not use gdrive for streaming.

using emby, i manual scan when adding media

i have a seedbox for that.

Ok no problem In manually scanning the whole library each time.

Thanks!

The question that is not clear to me, is how the VFS cache would help streaming a file to start faster. As I understand it, if it is the first time I try to play a movie, it is not in the cache and therefore the response time was going to be the same as without the cache. So I would only benefit from the cache if the movie has been played at least once?

I don't know if that's how the cache layer works.
