mirkwood 0 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Hi folks --> is there a quick way to refresh/scan the library? Basically, 1) add a file to the library; 2) refresh library. This seems like such a basic thing I must be missing something haha? (I see the refresh job and it's set to 12 hours, which is fine - I'm just curious if there's a manual way quicker than digging through the settings menu).

Happy2Play 8281 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 What OS? Do you have Real Time Monitoring enabled? You can right click a Library on Home Screen and select Refresh and use the drop down to select Scan for new and updated files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirkwood 0 Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 This is for Windows. Rt-click works, thx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Happy2Play 8281 Posted January 16, 2018 Solution Share Posted January 16, 2018 You shouldn't need to do anything if you have Real time monitoring enabled. Dashboard-Library-Click on each library "Enable real time monitoring". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EbbandFlow 0 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Interesting.... I double-checked and have "Enable real time monitoring" checked on for my one and only library - however, I am not seeing these small updates occur. What's the best method to verify that these updates are really occurring? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37064 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Just test it in the UI. Not all file systems are supported by the real-time monitor though, so please discuss an example. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EbbandFlow 0 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Ok, the results in the UI are unsatisfactory and do not reflect any changes to the library. This is hosted on a TerraMaster TOS NAS (F4-220) utilizing RAID 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So wherever your media is stored, that has to be something that INotify supports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EbbandFlow 0 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Again, my media is stored on hard drives in a RAID 5 configuration on the TerraMaster NAS (F4-220). Does INotify support that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37064 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 On the device i would think so. Please discuss an example and see how to report a problem. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EbbandFlow 0 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I'm not sure what additional detail you are looking for here.- I add a new album, artist, playlist, etc. to my media library (which has "Enable real time monitoring" selected)- I wait half a day- I look at the library via the Emby web app and none of the changes are reflected in Artists, Albums, Playlists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37064 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 The information requested in how to report a problem. Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8281 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 A Server log to see Librarymonitor actions. Items are appearing after a scheduled task library scan, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EbbandFlow 0 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 A Server log to see Librarymonitor actions. Items are appearing after a scheduled task library scan, correct? A scheduled task library scan takes over an hour so I have not tested that functionality since this afternoon when adding these items to the file structure. Running the hour+ long library scan sort of defeated the purpose of testing the real-time monitoring... I can try one tonight to verify that end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37064 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Looking at the largest log file, it had a library scan running throughout most of the time that log file covered. Currently Emby stops the realtime monitor while a scan is running. This is something we can improve in future updates though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
