Automated Media Center

Hello.

I'm using Plex. I've activated the "scan my library automatically" in my plex server. It's runs perfectly. As soon as Filebot send the renamed file in the Plex scanned folder : the new media is indexed by Plex.
What is the "Plex automated media center" option in Filebot node ? I just have a look on how getting the "host:token" information from my Plex server : it seems quite hard to obtain. (API requests...)
What does this option bring ?

Thanks.

It's quite easy to get the token. There's a tutorial with screenshots in the Plex docs.

If it's working by watching folders, then you dint really need it though.

The option will make FileBot send a rescan request to Plex, so new files will show up immediately. Useful if watching folders is too resource intensive or straight up just doesn't work.
