By the upvotes it is clear that our readers agree with you, but I’m more than happy to go on record saying your philosophy is empirically invalidated by the fact that you are posting this.

I like iOS shortcuts. This week, I created an iOS shortcut to scan my Plex library. Now this may seem weird since there is an option to scan a library from the official Plex iOS app and there are also options to scan the library automatically or periodically. For various reasons (excuses), I didn’t like that the official app only lets you scan one library at a time and I have automatic/periodic scans turned off to avoid network drive access, so I created the shortcut to scan from my phone any time I felt like I wanted to trigger it.

1. Create a new iOS shortcut
2. Add the “Get contents of URL” action
3. Get your X-Plex-Token (see instructions on official website)
4. Set the URL in your action to: https://{ip_address}:{port}/library/sections/all/refresh?X-Plex-Token={plex_token}

Nice try… North Korea. j/k. IDK man, because I watched “The Undeclared War”. Give it a look.

In another comment I was accused of being a brainwashed American, so take this for what it is, but some posts — mostly of a political nature — just seem to defy any mainstream thinking across the spectrum. Looking at some user profiles when I come across these, it seems their post history is entire based around fueling arguments, with no agenda, other than breed discontent.
