File upgrades incorrectly parsed as newly added files in Plex about autoscan HOT 5 CLOSED

I certainly appreciate your time trying to look for a work around / fix for this issue. Ever since swapping to the Plex API instead of the Plex Scanner CLI we too have noticed the issue that Plex incorrectly recognises file upgrades.

Unfortunately, I do not think the issue is caused by Autoscan but rather by Plex. I would suggest you to open an issue on their forums that while using the <url>/library/sections/<section id>/refresh?path=<path> url, as they suggest at the bottom of their URL commands page, file upgrades are handled incorrectly and instead parsed as new additions.

With this in mind, I will not be working on your feature request as I think this specific issue is the only use-case for it. Please do let me know whether you hear from Plex. I will keep this issue open in the meanwhile.

Use the new movie agent in Plex, this should not be an issue with it (upgrades showing as newly added).

I just doublechecked, and upgrades are not showing up as newly added on my plex.

Today radarr upgrade 3 movies, and they are not in my 'recently added movies' list in plex. If I go to the movies and check info to see what files it has, it shows the upgraded files there, so plex did update it's database.

This does not appear to be an issue we can fix by changing code within Autoscan.
