A follow-up to 4.4.0 — if you upgraded to 4.4.0 and your Recently Added sweeps still queued behind a full scan, this is the fix.
Fixes
- Existing Recently Added schedules now actually follow the new Incoming job priority setting. Schedules created before 4.4.0 were saved with an explicit Normal priority, because the old dialog had no way to say "use the default" — so the 4.4.0 setting never applied to them and new imports kept queueing behind a running full-library scan. They are switched to Default (from Settings) automatically on first start after upgrading. Anything you deliberately set to High or Low keeps its setting, and full-library scans are untouched (they still run at Normal). If you did mean Normal, re-pin it under Automation → Schedules.
- Schedule files are now written atomically, with a backup. An interrupted write — a full disk, a container killed mid-save — could previously leave a partial
schedules.json, and the next start would load no schedules at all. Writes now go to a temp file and swap into place, keeping a timestamped.bakof the previous contents. - Fixed a migration that silently skipped
schedules.json. The 4.3-era rename of the internal Plex server id updated settings, jobs, and webhook history but never the schedules file, so a schedule pinned to the old id could stop firing. Only affects installs upgrading from before that change.
