Library not updating...

I have been using Serviio for a little over a year now and all was working great. However, it seems this problem started when I recently upgraded to version 1.5.2.

When I created new folders or new files, they don't show up in my devices. All the files/folders previously in the library are all accessible.

Here is my Serviio settings:
Under Library tab, the "Search for update of currently shared files" box is checked. "Include hidden files" is not checked. "Keep library automatically updated" is checked. I even click on the "Force refresh" button, nothing change.

[zip]

Most likely access issue. http://serviio.org/component/content/article?id=21#q5

I do have the same problem. When creating new folders/files Serviio 1.5.2 (Linux) doesn't automatically refresh the content.

OS: Ubuntu Server LTS 14.04 x86_64 (Kernel 3.19.0-31-generic)
Filesystem: BTRFS
Java: 1.8.0_66-b17

Maybe the problem is the local BTRFS and some problems with BTRFS using INOTIFY since the server seems to work on EXT4-filesystems but converting the filesystem isn't an option. The process has read/write-access to all files+directories. I also use symbolic links to distribute the collection accross multiple external and internal storages.

I simply need a commandline-utility to start the refresh-function via crontab or commandline - this couldn't be that hard to implement... PLEASE!!!!!

I tried your advice which you have suggested at the below link but it did not work for me...

Mine is a strange problem where the library does not get updated automatically ONLY IN THE BELOW MENTIONED SCENARIO...

my settings are
1)Search for updates of currently shared files--->CHECKED
2)INCLUDE HIDDEN FILES------>UNCHECKED
3)KEEP LIBRARY AUTOMATICALLY UPDATED------>CHECKED

THE FILE TYPE IS MKV AND THE MEDIA INFO IS AS FOLLOWS:

THIS FILE DOES NOT GET UPDATED EITHER AUTOMATICALLY OR MANUALLY IN THE LIBRARY.

BUT IF I SHARE ANY OTHER MKV FILE IT DOES GET UPDATED BOTH AUTOMATICALLY OR MANUALLY.

Please help.

@roygaard: Have you tried forcing Serviio to use the POLLER method to scan your library - see http://wiki.serviio.org/doku.php?id=lib ... _mechanism Forcing Poller Scanner.

@SHAILS1234: Suspect it's because the Opus Audio Codec isn't supported by Serviio (not sure whether vp9 video is either). Does your log file contain a message about unknown media format or something like that for this file. You may need to manually transcode this file.

Thanks Zip...........your link provided helped me setup my NAS. Been using Serviio for years and love it.......hands down best media server out there.

The solution from DenyAll worked for me and now my windows mount in CentOS is refreshed automatically.

My steps were:

1. Installed Serviio to CentOS 7
2. Mounted a Windows share to /mnt:
//[windows server ip address]/videos /mnt/videos cifs user=[my windows user] password=[my password] 0 0
3. Edit the serviio.sh file
nano /opt/serviio/bin/serviio.sh
4. Added the line below to the end of JAVA_OPTS (remember to check the double quotes are in the correct place i.e. at the end of the line)
-Dserviio.forceLibraryPoller=true
5. Restart
