NOTE: So after trying this I remembered why I do not like it. When you click refresh the last time it shows a message that says "refresh queued" and then gives NO indication if or when this will happen! Anybody know?
I believe its instantly though. I used this method for my TV shows.
i.e.
1 - Downloaded a new episode of the "The Boys"
2 - Move the file to its target folder /media/The Boys/
3 - On the jellyfin web UI, navigate to the "The Boys" show, click refresh inside.
4 - Refresh browser page, new episode instantly shows up as detected.
I have no issue when adding a new episode, it does it pretty much instantly without doing anything.
It is when replacing an ep or movie. I delete the file from the drive, scan to make sure JF no longer sees it, and then add the replacement file. In Emby, right from the Home page I can go to the 3 dots and select "scan library" and it scans that library only right then with a progress circle showing it happening. In JF, if I want it to happen right away, I need to go into Dashboard and "scan all libraries" which is frustrating to say the least.
