2. Copy some new photos into external library.
3. Go to Administration -> Settings -> Library -> Scanning
4. Enable automatic library scanning
5. Set cron expression to */15 * * * *
6. Save Settings.
6. Wait for 15 minutes, but no photos imported.

I confirm, automatic scanning does nothing at all.

Waiting for the fix of this issue, I created a python script that uses the immich api to scan every external library.
I put the script in the linux cron to execute every X minutes/hours.

So this is fix on 1.91.4 yet? I tried to trigger it with cron every hour but it seems not working.

I have the same problem and do not see the related PRs included in 1.91.4.

The 1.91.4 has been released on 19 Dec, while the pull request https://github.com/immich-app/immich/pull/5951 has been merged on 23 Dec.
Therefore we have to wait the next version for the fix.
