Online Streams NOT Automatically Being Added When Available

Need a little help here.....

I recently completed going through a website with links to SEVERAL online streams. Some were available when I attempted to add them & some were not (I'll share it with everyone here in the appropriate area)

Yet it seems as though Serviio is only adding them whenever Serviio itself is started instead of as they become available (I have Serviio set to refresh both local & online content every minute)

Why is this & how can I force Serviio to add streams that become available to my onscreen list WITHOUT restarting Serviio and/or my PC ??

Cheers :)

You cant simply add a random website with video streams on there without a plugin.
A groovy plugin is needed to tell Serviio where the video is steaming from.

Alot of plugins for various video sites can be found here - viewforum.php?f=20

If the feed updates and includes other set of streams (if this is what you mean?), then the feed expires after the number of hours defines in he console. After that period (unless overriden in a plugin) the feed will be parsed again and possible new streams added to Serviio. You can force it by right-click + Refresh on a online resource (and then wait a minute or so for the update to kick off).
