Title: Files list does not update
Post by: ddalley on October 05, 2012, 09:15:49 PM

This may take a bit of explaining, so please bear with me.

On the hard drive, I have some video files. Over time, I have renamed and moved a few files around to different directories. When I use a computer to read the directories, everything is fine. However, when I try to access them through a networked Blu-ray player, phantom files still exist when, in fact, I have either renamed them or moved them to another directory. Hmmm...

When I use XBMC, the same thing is happening.

Now, I just reorganised the files into a new set of directories, and only the computers can find them now. Again, the old file lists are all that the player and XBMC show. How is this even possible?

What is going on and how do I fix this?

Are you accessing the files via a network share or through a media server? If through a media server, then you have to rebuild the index (on the DNS) to get the "new" content. If via network share then the device you are using likely caches the info. You need to force a cache refresh in the device.

Both, actually.

Hmmm, well, looking through the manual, there doesn't seem to be anything about rebuilding the file index (unless you mean what they about installing a new drive and rebuilding the RAID).

And as far as refreshing the cache, I haven't found a way of doing that on the Blu-ray player or XBMC yet.

Go into the media server page (which ever of the media servers you are running) and look for a refresh button

Old post, but I use XBMC a lot. Look for an addon called XBMC Library Updater. Have it update your library, ie: 3 hrs, daily, whatever. Then you can configure it to clean the database on a schedule. That will remove items that are no longer there, as in renamed files.

I know this is an old post, but I just wanted to clarify the path for anyone else searching and finding this topic.

After logging in, go to Advanced/UPnP AV SERVER/, click "Refresh".
