Parent folder scan

Hi

 

Let’s suppose i have a “VA” folder, and I add a new subfolder “Wathever” to it.

 

Emby correctly starts a file refresher for the “Wathever” folder, but also starts one for the “VA” folder.

Since the “VA” folder has a lot of subfolders, the scan takes a big while. The “Wathever” folder shows up when the “VA” sacan ends

 

Any idea to mitigate it?

Well, I do want Emby to scan the folder "Whatever" when it's added to the filesystem, so no, disabling real time scanning is not an option. I don't want Emby to scan the parent folder also, because it was already scanned earlier when the library was created.

Looks like a bug to me, or at least a malfunctioning feature.

It is currently by design because sometimes there is data attached to the parent folder that depends on data from content underneath. It's always possible to improve in the future but that's the way it currently is. Thanks.
