Scans and run modes
Full scan
Section titled “Full scan”A full scan reads the selected source libraries and current target state without using incremental fingerprints to skip unchanged items. Use it for a new profile, after changing mapping/rules, or when target state may have changed outside Brokerr.
Incremental scan
Section titled “Incremental scan”Incremental runs compare persisted source/rule fingerprints and avoid planning items whose relevant source state and policy have not changed. They still obey target pacing and protection rules. A full run remains the recovery mechanism when external changes are not represented by the stored fingerprints.
Webhook scan
Section titled “Webhook scan”Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby webhooks narrow work to the affected movie or series when the source, profile, event, user, and library match. Jellyfin and Emby refresh a consistent source snapshot before selecting the affected normalized item. Webhooks complement scheduled scans; they do not replace periodic reconciliation.
Manual and scheduled runs
Section titled “Manual and scheduled runs”Manual profile sync creates a one-profile batch and can run even when that profile is paused for automatic schedules. Group/all actions create a batch for the eligible selected profiles. Scheduled runs respect each profile’s incremental or full pause switch and dry-run default.
When full and incremental schedules for a profile are due together, full takes precedence.
