Periodical folder scan #179

Open warlordattack opened 1 year ago

warlordattack commented 1 year ago

I have this workflow :

1/ request from Petio 2/ radarr + lidarr + sonarr 3/ download by qbittorrent 4/ to avoid unwanted new versions downloads from radarr + sonarr -i use qbittorrent categories to move downloaded files to new destination folders and keep seeding -once moved i delete movie/tv from lidarr/sonarr, so i have a short list of things there 5/ sometimes when a movie/tv series are too big -i transcode them to new folder -than delete the torrent and original file from qbittorrent

So my files move from folder to folder like this : radarr : initial download to -> /partage/downloads/radarr radarr create renamed mirror to file -> /partage/media/movies post import qbittorrent category : move to -> /partage/videos/2d then i delete movie from radarr : -mirror file deleted in : /partage/media/movies -but movie is present in the qbittorrent category folder and seeding : /partage/videos/2d if movie is too big : -transcoding to new file in transcode directroy : /transcode/videos/2d -delete the torrent and file from qbittorrent : deleted in /partage/videos/2d

So my movie can be in 3 different folders : /partage/media/movies -> renamed version from radarr /partage/videos/2d -> seeding in qbitttorrent category folder /transcode/videos/2d -> transcoded file

So to always have the movie in plex i have all 3 froders attached to the movie plex library.

When my file is downloaded via radarr , autoscan detects it and refrech Plex. Then if i move the file to other directory (qbittorent category folder), then delete movie from radarr : autoscan delete movie from Plex.

So in my workflow, autoscan deleted the movie from plex because i deleted it from radarr : /partage/media/movies But then my movie file exists in one of two other folders : /partage/videos/2d -> seeding in qbittoreent, but deleted from radarr because i don't want to download new versions /transcode/videos/2d -> deleted from radarr, than transcoded to transcode folder, then deleted from qbittorrent

It would be nice to say to autosacn to periodically scan files newer than last scan timestamp in list of folders, then notify plex the file exists in the new folder (moved from one folder to an other). There is no webhooks, only periodical folder scan + plex notification.

Would be nice to have this feature please,

Best regards :)

I'm curious why you want to see Autoscan implement this feature, given that it is already an option inside Plex?
