# This will update plex libraries manually from the command line. #
# This will work on centos 7 but I can't make any guarantees about other OSes or platforms. #
# If you're running plex on mac os x or windows, get a real OS. #
# #
# The exports below are important because if you don't have all of them set, you will get no result when you go to list #
# ./Plex\ Media\ Scanner --list #
# This will show you all of your libraries and their numbers. #
# #
