troyhough 57 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I know you can force a scan from the Android app as well as through a web browser but haven't seen where to do it on my Nvidia Shield. If I am logged in as an Administrator, shouldn't there be an option to force a Media Scan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maegibbons 1267 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Hi You can "refresh" an individual item from the three dot menu on the detail page. There is no option to force a full Library scan. Krs Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBers 6769 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 There is no option to force a full Library scan. Might be worth asking if @@ebr can add a REFRESH option at the library level, similar to the PLAY option now available. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maegibbons 1267 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 It basically redownloads metadata and images for the current item. Krs Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 What does this do exactly? The exact same thing a "Refresh - replace all metadata" does from the web app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troyhough 57 Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 The exact same thing a "Refresh - replace all metadata" does from the web app. So if there's new content on your server, but Emby hasn't done a scan recently, there's no way to get to it with the Android TV app at the moment?

prunhardt 3 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) Not at this time but it's possible for the future. thanks. Any update on this? I'm missing this option as well, at least until an automatic refresh is possible when content is added to the server (you already explained that is not possible yet).

ebr 14910 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 ... at least until an automatic refresh is possible when content is added to the server (you already explained that is not possible yet). Hi. Those would be two different things. What, exactly are you after here - the app interface to update with content your server has recently ingested, or to force the server to ingest content it hasn't yet?

prunhardt 3 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I believe he is wanting a media refresh button in the Android TV app. I am indeed. Thank you. I am using the app on Nvidia Shield btw, but I guess that if it's available for Android TV, it will be for Android TV on Nvidia Shield as well?

ebr 14910 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I believe he is wanting a media refresh button in the Android TV app. But what does that mean? Specifically....

prunhardt 3 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 It means that I would like to be able to scan for library files in the Emby app, either by a seperate button on the main screen for all libraries or from within a library for that library only. Hope this is specific enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 So, the second answer to my question? to force the server to ingest content it hasn't yet? Because the statement you made here: until an automatic refresh is possible when content is added to the server (you already explained that is not possible yet). would indicate something different. The app would not be in control of any sort of automatic refresh for the server to ingest new content but the server does have the ability to do that if the file system supports it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prunhardt 3 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Correct. In this case the file system doesn't support it, so the server won't be triggered to scan the library when new content has been added. Hence the wish to trigger the scan manually from the app. Are there concrete plans to put that functionality in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 It will get in there eventually - most likely as a long-press/menu option from the library tile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbulljane 0 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) Has this been looked into yet? I have emby server on nvidia shield and running emby client on nvidia shield as well. What Emby does not do is when I have added new content to the folders in the shield then update to show the programmes in TV shows. What do I have to do to see it. Currently I have to go to the Emby web browser on my laptop, go to TV shows and tell it manually to do a refresh which is a pain.
