Serviio

I can add files to a folders and it doesn't auto refresh the library. I can even force a refresh but when I check on my TV (LG and Sony if that is relevant) it doesn't show under folders. Sometimes it shows under last added though.

Maybe something just got scrambled or corrupted?

Serviio 2.1 on Linux Mint with Sony and LG TV's

I don't think it's specifically Serviio. I've noticed the same thing start on my computer, and I'll place the blame for mine on Microsoft with their latest update. I changed the library location to use the Poller option and that resolved the issue.

Since there hasn't been any update to Serviio in some time, I can't see how it could suddenly stop monitoring the library location. Perhaps Mint also issued an update that changed something about the way that Serviio was monitoring the library location.

Thanks for that. I'll give that a try. I did think of the Mint upgrade possibility but I thought the corruption of a Serviio file sounded more feasible somehow.

So I have a question here, with the latest version of Serviio there's no option for polling anymore, just keep the library updated and force refresh.
When I have the console open it automatically updates the library. When I close the console (as in exit the process, the server is still running but the console is not), it doesn't update the library.

Does the console need to be running to update the library? If yes, then how can I minimize the console to the system tray. If not, what could be the reason for it no updating the library when the console is closed? Is there supposed to be come scheduled task running?

Yes, the latest version of Serviio still offers polling. It's in the settings for each library location, not a system-wide setting. So if you have multiple library locations (like I do) you need to activate polling on each one.

No, the console does not need to be running for the libraries to refresh.
