The real time monitoring does not appear to work in my environment. (I noticed the same thing with Emby before I moved to Jellyfin).
In my newest setup, I have two WD Passport USB drives (one movies and one tv shows) hooked into the back of my Qnap NAS which is running Jellyfin 10.10.6.
I move movies into the USB drive for movies and they do not appear unless I do a manual scan or the scheduled scan sometime later. Definitely not "it will just add new content immediately."
I could I assume make the scheduled scan more frequent, but as I understand it, it scans everything again. Where an immediate scan on just the new items would be ideal.
The same was true with Emby and my SMB shares with my other NAS drives.
