Don't remove trailing / on manual scan requests #145

Closed edrock200 closed 1 year ago

edrock200 commented 2 years ago

Hello Have a unique request, occasionally I would like to use the /triggers/manual web page to refresh an entire root folder across multiple apps. When I do this, it doesn't work because it says root library cannot be determined. I think this is because autoscan appears to automatically remove the trailing / on submitted requests. Respectfully requesting that this auto removal be removed so that root folders can be submitted for scan requests. I tested this by putting on /path/to/root/folder/* and auto scan no longer threw the error, however, it submits it as litteral, so it obviously didn't scan the root folder.

Thanks in advance for your consideration. Ed

Same issue, I even tried submitting the curl with a double slash (%2F%2F) at the end and it removed both.

We currently have this trailing slash removal implemented to avoid accidental scans of entire libraries (which can take considerable amounts of time). Autoscan is designed to optimise scans around film/show/season specific directories and such a full library scan would do away with these optimisations. I recommend to either manually trigger a full library scan inside the Plex UI or, similarly to how Autoscan is implemented, manually call the /refresh Plex API endpoint.
