How to set interval scanning for individual libs?

[bigeyez 10]

Currently scannning at intervals works on all libs. I want to set more frequent scanning for an individual library, a cron job would be fine as well.  Is it possible?

There is no way to do this but it's a possibility for the future. Thanks.

​That would be great, most of my libs are large libs so I do not want to make my drives busy for a small set up updates.

@@Luke, is there a scan API call by library name?  I'd assume so, which would make rolling our own pretty simple.

Pretty easy. First you need to define an secure api key. Then start scanning your lib you want in bibliotheks. Then search this URL in the log. And paste this to cronjob or what ever you want:
 

curl --data '' "http://127.0.0.1:8096/emby/Items/xxxx/Refresh?Recursive=true&api_key=yyyy"

xxxx=Bibliotek id from the log
yyyy=apikey id

This works for me like it should.

Edited before was wrong url...

@@Luke Is there a nicer way to find out the libary id?

Well you have to use the api to begin with in order to know what it is. We don't display it anywhere in the UI.
