Content not refreshing

sometimes a new content file does NOT show up till restarting the serviio services, whats the matter this is annoying!

wounder if updating the FFMPEG file might help? -> https://wiki.serviio.org/doku.php?id=win_ffmpeg

Re: Content not refreshing

ffmpeg is only used (to my knowledge) for transcoding. I don't think it's invoked for folder monitoring. Sometimes it can help if you enable the poller function on your library folders. On the Serviio console go to the Shared Folders tab, then click Edit on your configured shared folders. One of the options is to enable polling the folder for updates. Save the changes and you're done. It doesn't require restarting the server to take effect.

Re: Content not refreshing

FFMpeg is used when building the library. When a new file is found, ffmpeg -i is run (for video files) to pick up the file's metadata
