Automatically update Emby web page when new shows/movies are added via background scan of a watched folder

[shoek 12]

When compared to Plex, one shortcoming of Emby is that when viewing your library via the Emby Server's web app, when new shows are added to a watched folder I get a notification that the new show was indexed but the Web page UI does not update to show the new addition.

 

If this feature already exists, please let me know how to activate it.

What do you mean?  Auto page refreshing?

[shoek 12]

Yes, if I'm viewing TV section of the Emby web app, and I get a notification that a new show has been added, the page should refresh to show that new show in the list (eg: Next Up, Latest Episodes, etc.)

Ive already submitted this as a feature request. I believe it has something to do with Web Sockets needing to be implemented.

This is the thing that annoys me the most. I use the web interface a LOT. It's such a simple thing but drives me crazy that it doesn't update & you have to hit F5 & reload the whole page to see if something changed.

This is something we'll be looking to improve in the future, thanks.

Is it the future yet? This drives me crazy! :-)

We do this on some screens, it just hasn't been spread to all screens yet.
