New Plex Autoscan via Cloudbox

Morphy · April 16, 2021, 11:39am

Hi guys.

Anyone tried to configure this with your Plex server and Googledrive?

It replaces the old Plex_Autoscan

I want to give it a go, but configuration of it dont seem that user friendly.

Anyone got it up and running and maybe have tips to configure it?

Cheers

## PLEX SCAN ONLY NEW/MODIFED FOLDERS SINCE LAST RUN
## OS: Linux Ubuntu 16.04
## Make script executable by chmod a+x plex-scan-new.sh
## Add script to crontab -e ( paste the line bellow without ## )
## */30 * * * *   /path to script/plex-scan-new.sh >/dev/null 2>&1
## Make sure you disable all Plex automatic & scheduled library scans.
if pidof -o %PPID -x "$0"; then
   echo "$(date "+%d.%m.%Y %T") Exit, already running."
   exit 1

Use cron for check. If new movie/serie was found its added to plex.
