# Bug
Plex servers with the music library named anything other than "Music"
(Música, Musique, Musik, Musica, 音乐, موسيقى, etc.) hit this error
after every import cycle:
soulsync.plex_client - ERROR - Failed to trigger library scan
for 'Music': Invalid library section: Music
soulsync.web_scan_manager - ERROR - Failed to initiate PLEX
library scan via web
Side effect: `wishlist.processing` kept reporting "Missing from
media server after sync" for tracks that DID import correctly, so
they got perpetually re-added to the wishlist.
# Root cause
`_find_music_library` correctly auto-detects the music section by
`section.type == 'artist'` and stores it on `self.music_library` —
works for any locale because the type is language-neutral. Read
methods (`get_artists`, etc.) route through `_get_music_sections`
which returns `[self.music_library]`, so they never had the bug.
But `trigger_library_scan` and `is_library_scanning` ignored
`self.music_library` and called
`self.server.library.section(library_name)` directly with the
hardcoded `"Music"` default. `server.library.section('Music')`
raises `NotFound` on any server whose section isn't literally
named "Music".
# Fix
Both methods now prefer `self.music_library` first, fall back to
literal `library_name` lookup only when auto-detection hasn't
populated the cached reference (test fixtures, edge cases).
`is_library_scanning`'s activity-feed match also corrected to
filter by the resolved section's actual title — the prior code
matched `library_name.lower() in activity_title.lower()` which
defaults to "music" and would never match activities for
non-English sections.
`trigger_library_scan`'s success log line now surfaces the actual
section title (`Música`) instead of the unused `library_name`
default ("Music") — confusing when debugging on non-English servers.
# Tests added (13)
`tests/media_server/test_plex_non_english_section_name.py`:
- `test_uses_auto_detected_section_regardless_of_locale` — parametrised
across 6 locale variants (Música, Musique, Musik, Musica, 音乐, موسيقى).
Each verifies trigger_library_scan calls the auto-detected
section's `update()`, NOT a literal-name fallback. Stub raises
AssertionError on `server.library.section()` so a regression that
re-introduces the fallback fails loudly.
- `test_falls_back_to_literal_lookup_when_no_auto_detection` —
backward compat: music_library=None → literal lookup as before.
- `test_explicit_library_name_arg_used_only_when_no_auto_detection` —
auto-detected wins over explicit kwarg when both available.
- `test_logs_correct_section_label_on_success` — log line surfaces
resolved section title.
- 4 symmetric tests for is_library_scanning covering refreshing-attr
check, activity-feed title match, no-match for unrelated sections,
fallback path.
# Verification
- 13 new tests pass
- 84/84 media_server tests pass (no regression in the existing
Plex / Jellyfin / Navidrome suite)
- 2458 full suite passes (+13 from baseline)
- Ruff clean
