So my setup is

  • Proxmox server with the main HDD for media
  • Plex VM with auto library refresh enabled
  • My main windows pc at home

I copied all my media folders/files to a folder on proxmox server hdd and named it media-server

I attached this hdd as vda and mounted it on the plex vm so it can read all the files and add it to the library

I created a smb share from proxmox server hdd so i can update my library with all new movies or series

So I thought that with this setup whenever i add new movie to the proxmox hdd from my windows pc it will make plex library auto refresh and scan to add the new data

However this isn’t happening when i add new folder or change anything it doesn’t reflect on plex, i even tried to manually scan library but sometimes it work and sometimes it doesn’t

What could be wrong with this setup?

    smb share is only used by windows pc to add/update/delete library

    plex is mounting the hdd as virtual hd
