Notify Plex to reanalyze a file? about autoscan HOT 5 CLOSED

This would require Plex to enhance their Scan API with an analyse flag.

Can't we do this:

We would have to either access Plex's database or use some of their internal APIs to figure out which metadata item to put in the URL. Autoscan only works with paths and there is no way for Autoscan to know when a certain path has been scanned by Plex. So it's unclear when to even search for a metadata item ID corresponding to the original path.

We do not plan to work on a workaround thus I suggest you to open a feature request on Plex's forum instead.

Could you not just tell autoscan to analyze the path it was just told to scan via a trigger? File would change, trigger would tell autoscan to scan the path, then if, eanbled in the config, also tell plex to analyze what under the same path.
