real time monitoring

[chenks]

trying to understand real time monitoring.

jellyfin is running in an unpriveliged ubuntu LXC in proxmox
as the LXC is unpriveliged it can't mount network shares directly, so i have the CIFS share mounted in the proxmox host, and that share is passed thru to the LXC.

manual library scans work fine.
i've seen messages saying that RTM doesn't work with CIFS/SMB etc, and to turn it off, which i have now done as i had previously had it turned on.

however, i also have a plex server running on the same proxmox host (also an unpriveliged Ubunutu LXC with the same CIFS share passed to it), and RTM does seem to work with that, and it picks up new additions almost straight away, whereas jellfin does not until the next scheduled library scan kicks in.

so if RTM doesn't work with CIFS/SMB shares, why does plex pick up the changes? (it's not being picked up by a plex scheduled scan as the RTM works so well there is no scheduled scan enabled).

as a workaround i've set the jellyin scheduled library scan to every 15 minutes (previously was 12 hours).
