Files are not added into the Library

The problem is that files are not added into the Library. The first time scan runs it add 23 items and that is it. Force refresh does not help. I have added [] into the names of my movies, maybe it is not supported? However few movies shows with those symbols. Also, is there a limit to how many movies a folder can have? It has 103 at the moment.

Nothing particular in the log:

Re: Files are not added into the Library

If there is a limit to the number of files in a folder, I don't know what it might be. I currently have 537 files in one of my library folders, and it scans them all without an issue. I have many folders that have more than 200.

Usually if the scanner encounters an issue with a file in a folder, it is flagged in the log. As you note, the log doesn't appear to show any problems. Could the brackets in the file names be an issue? I can't say, but I don't have any such characters in any of my files. I do use parentheses, but that's the only non-alphanumeric character I use. Well, looking at my one folder I do see some exclamation marks and hyphens, so I guess I do use a few other characters. But no brackets on any of my files. I've taken a quick glance at the Serviio help files, and I don't see brackets used in any file naming example, so it might be worth trying to change a few of the names and see if that makes any difference. If you have a lot of files to rename, using a renamer like Filebot might be worth using.
