Can I call a scheduled task (Scan Library) via a PowerShell script?

[Oracle 84]

Hello,

Is this possible, and can someone break it down for me like a toddler?

 

Thanks!

One of the easiest ways is just to use curl to send a web request to the emby server.

Create an API key in emby(using the 'Advanced/API Keys' section)

Then  replace the emby IP and API key below with your values - and it will force a library scan.  use the logs in debug mode to check it works.

curl -X POST "http://<emby-server-ip>:8096/emby/Library/Refresh?api_key=<your_api_key>" -H "accept: */*"
