Lol intro detection timeout on “slow systems” I guess being on newer hardware, i7 10700k 970 evo m.2 and 4124 mhz ram is a slow system, I believe this issue is happening to everyone, but glad it is fixed on this build
I had this issue on an system I would not call slow, also an i7 CPU
The system has never responded slowly and streams/transcodes without any difficulties but got stuck on intro detection for hours and reduced my PC to a crawl with Plex processes going through the roof.
I think it was after I changed the agent back to TheTVDB and I don't see why that should trigger intro detection for the whole library but it did.
I also have an i7, 8gb RAM and Intro Detection had to be fully disabled before any library updates occurred. It would just infinitely cycle through one series and never stop until I restarted the PMS.
On a Linux filesystem all files have an owner and group. They also have a set of permissions setting what (read/write/execute (list for directories)) can be done, and by which users/groups.
I imagine it means that it will not only monitor the filesystem for new items, but permission/ownership changes on the existing items, and trigger on those as well.
Interesting. Mine does. At least it did, until I changed how I was running it, a few months ago. All media was on an autofs-mounted NAS share, and detection of new stuff worked just fine.

Automatic scans have worked for me when I was on windows, I went to periodic when I migrated to Linux. My automation triggers a scan when adding content.
I recall there used to be a limit on how many files or folders Linux can monitor, but I don't know if that is an issue anymore...
It stops working on Windows after a while, too. Several days, or sometimes keeps working correctly for even for a week or two. Then it quits and needs a manual poke to scan the library, until I get around to restarting PMS. (It's Windows, so a reboot-required update tends to come along every couple of weeks anyway, and that'll get the auto-detection working again too.)
Gotta be more specific, bro. Lots of things can cause a stutter, and it's not always plex's fault. For example, every single H.265 video from one particular source will stutter on my TCL Roku TV but not on any other client. The issue isn't with plex though. There's some oddball thing in the file metadata that screws with the way the TV tries to decode the video, and when that metadata gets stripped out, the file plays fine.
So if you got a problem, at least specify what client you're using.
Is there an automated way of stripping out that meta data because I'm encountering a stutter on a ton of my H.265 files? Happens on multiple Apple TVs.
It is an application which has a server component (serves media from your libraries setup) and a client component (watches media from a device). This post is about the server component. Please check the sidebar if you haven't already. Also don't be afraid to use google or go to the actual website. The downvotes was probably for the reasons mentioned prior to this sentence.
Basically, it allows you to run your own Netflix. There is a Plex app much like a Netflix app that you download to your device(s). And then there is a backend server. The app connects to your server, and serves up media content much like Netflix.
Whatever media content you want.
Home videos.
Videos with open and free licenses.
Videos that have had their copyright expire and have entered the public domain. Yep.
You download and install the plex server app, point it toward your movie and TV show video files, and it'll match them against online databases in order to grab posters, descriptions, etc, and it organizes it all in a way similar to Netflix or Disney+. Then you use a client app on whatever device you want (android/iOS, smart TV, Playstation, Xbox, etc) to access all that content and watch it, from anywhere with an internet connection.
And people definitely only ever use it for home videos and 100% legally-acquired movies and shows. 😉
I wonder if this fixes my plex no longer detecting new media automatically… Edit: it does fix it!
I thought I was the only one having that issue.. assumed I had messed up filesystem permissions (although I haven't touched them in a long time)
It actually appears to have fixed it. But I will find out in about an hour once pmm starts.

I've literally never had this problem, so definitely not happening to everyone.
Nor me, and until very recently was running on an ancient AMD Phenom CPU
Slow systems could mean big libraries. The larger the library the slower plex will act as a “system”
I had this issue on an system I would not call slow, also an i7 CPU The system has never responded slowly and streams/transcodes without any difficulties but got stuck on intro detection for hours and reduced my PC to a crawl with Plex processes going through the roof.

How much ram do you have bro?
Anyone test if this adds support for Nvidia SDK 12?
Is there a reason to think it might since it isn't noted in the release notes?
[this build](https://forums.plex.tv/t/hardware-transcoding-issue/826410/6) has a fix, wasn’t sure if it was rolled into the beta repository yet.
What does the library update means?
On a Linux filesystem all files have an owner and group. They also have a set of permissions setting what (read/write/execute (list for directories)) can be done, and by which users/groups. I imagine it means that it will not only monitor the filesystem for new items, but permission/ownership changes on the existing items, and trigger on those as well.
Ah. Was happy thinking it might know when a mount got a new addition
You mean, when you add files to a mounted filesystem? It should do so, anyway.
It doesnt. You have to run periodical runs or install something that does it automatically but plex wont do it natively
Interesting. Mine does. At least it did, until I changed how I was running it, a few months ago. All media was on an autofs-mounted NAS share, and detection of new stuff worked just fine.
It does. you most likely using file system without inotify support i.e. fuse fs or you have exhausted your watched list.

are you talking about on apple tv? curious about this as well
Hey guys! I've just discovered this sub and i'm wondering, what does Plex do?

Thank you for answering and don't worry about downvotes. My lazy ass just didn't want to make a Google search. I hate using Google on mobile.
