It would be ideal if there was an option to disable the updating of existing files in the library update and only check for new files. is this possible?

I take it this didn't make into 0.4.1?
Re: library update - check for new only
No, I'm still wondering if it's making sense in terms of it breaking everything ![Wink ;-)](./images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif)

Re: library update - check for new only
gotcha. is it possible to perhaps initiate an update programmatically? For example, i use XBMC as well, and i use their web api to initiate a library refresh only when a new file is downloaded.
Re: library update - check for new only
Serviio is using Corba, so it's possible if you can implement it.

Re: library update - check for new only
What about just specifying individual shared directories to update? If some people are like me and have specified 5 or 6 different folders, but only added new files to one of them. Being able to only update that specific directory would be a huge benefit. Even if it went through all the current files, it would still be better than what we have now in terms of saving time.
Re: library update - check for new only
This causes me a lot of headache too. Invoking ffmpeg so often causes a lot of (CPU) time and is just unnecessary.
Isn't it possible to make use of inotify? There's gotta be a java binding for this, and I'm sure something like that exists in win32 too.
edit:
I started a scan through the console about 3h ago. It's still "refreshing" the media library. I've added maybe a dozen files since the last rescan.![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)

FFmpeg is only invoked on new video files. Checking for updates doesn't do it (unless a file has been updated).
THere is inotify for Linux and Win, but not for OSX.

Re: library update - check for new only
Well, does it try to use ffmpeg again on files where it has failed previously?
Anyway, I need to update to 0.4.1 and see if it still happens then.
Funny how OSX is a *IX system and doesn't support inotify.![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif)
