If my library is on an NFS share, will Jellyfin pick up new additions immediately (without a rescan)? (lemmy.world)

I'm pretty sure it doesn't work with SMB shares and you would have to rescan manually, but I could set up an NFS share on my NAS instead.

Yes! It has automated scans which will pick them up

Yupp, pops up randomly after downloading (probably a schedule but I don't know when it runs). If I need it straight away, a manual scan takes 15 seconds.

I usually notice something new has dropped when it pops up in "Recently added" and never check qBit or the .arr's.

NFS share from NAS and Jellyfin on separate Proxmox server.
