If I remember right, it's something that doesn't work due to the difference between the file I/O notify hooks in the os compared to linux. (kqueue on freebsd and epoll on linux)

I'm not sure if that was ever worked out by the plex developers on their freebsd version, but there were certainly issues in the past and it was even greyed-out in the past on the freebsd version.

FreeBSD has libinotify, but there are some limitations to the library and if a dev does something silly like use it to set a kevent on every file in your plex archive, you're probably not going to be in for a good time. :)

This might be why scanning has better results.
