I'm pretty sure it doesn't work with SMB shares and you would have to rescan manually, but I could set up an NFS share on my NAS instead.

Yes! It has automated scans which will pick them up

Yupp, pops up randomly after downloading (probably a schedule but I don't know when it runs). If I need it straight away, a manual scan takes 15 seconds.

I usually notice something new has dropped when it pops up in "Recently added" and never check qBit or the .arr's.

NFS share from NAS and Jellyfin on separate Proxmox server.

99% sure that SMB and NFS doesn't support watching for file changes, so it will only be picked up at the next scheduled scan (by default every hour)

Should work, Might have to wait for the next scheduled scan for it to be picked up for sure, though.

that should work, as NFS will look like a normal file system. I may have even had that setup at one point
