How to add media to Emby

[dsig 2]

I am still looking in the wiki for answers ..

When I add a new Movie dir to one of my media drives, does Emby automatically see it (continuously watching dirs) or do I have to scan the specific directory (which always looks empty) ... or scan the whole drive?

 

The same is true for tv episodes.  When I add 6-10 different series/eps to i have to visit each or ??

 

Thanks

It depends.  On Windows, yes as long as you haven't disabled that feature (Library/Advanced/Enable Real-time Monitoring).  On some other operating systems, though, monitoring is not possible so it will get picked up by the next library scan.

Great .. I haven't disabled anything but will make sure that it is enabled.

Is Ubuntu one of those OS's that monitoring is not possible?  I just migrated to Ubuntu, and real-time Monitoring doesn't seem to be working.

we found it to now always be stable on all linux distros so it's been disabled.
