Re-scan individual directories
Posted: Thu Apr 21, 2011 10:19 amFirst of all, thanks a lot for an excellent program! I've been using Serviio for months now and have had basically no problems at all.
There's just a single feature I sorely miss and that's the ability to re-scan a single library directory, rather than having to force a refresh of the entire library. I use Serviio to stream all my music as well as movies and series and a complete refresh can take well over a day (actually, maybe a lot more; I've never actually let it finish). While that goes on the CPU usage is a constant 25% on all cores on a 3.4GHz quad core, which severely impacts anything else I might want to use the PC for. The time it takes is mainly due to the huge amount of music files, so the ability to refresh only some of the contents of the library would pretty much negate the problem entirely.
