Emby not refreshing content without a restart

[pgriffith 73]

Hi, currently running Emby 2.234.2.0 on a dedicated windows 11 PC (an Intel NUC)

This PC is kept on 24/7 with Emby running continuously, only the TV is shut off when finished viewing content.

When turning the TV back on, generally the next night, the Emby homescreen does not reflect any new content added during the day. It will still play anything else on the homescreen, so it's still connected to the server. Going into libraries and back to the homescreen does not refresh the content.  There seems to be no way of doing a refresh other than a restart which then shows the new content just fine.

Also, it's not just the latest version, all previous ones have had the same behaviour

Is it possible in a future version to add an option to do a refresh either as a user specified interval or even something like every hour?

HI, we'll take a look at it. Thanks for reporting.

Doesn't work for me either and hasn't for a long time.

I simply do a manual library refresh.

Think its been mentioned previously the windows file system is to blame.

Do they show in the server?

Yes, of course the server displays new content as it is added, that's kinda its one job.  

Blaming the file system doesn't seem right, the Emby app communicates with the server for new content, not the file system (that's the servers job)

So either one of two things needs to happen.

1. The server needs to push notifications to clients

But, my NUC is on right now and Emby is running, but according to the server the last activity was 1 day ago (didn't watch anything last night), so it's likely the server has no way of knowing what's connected unless there is an active playback session, or from the app being started/restarted.

2. The Emby app needs to poll the server every so often so it retrieves notification of new content.

It's clearly not doing this based on the comment above (no activity for over a day)
