Hi Guys
I have a NAS device which stores all my TV Shows and I find that MyTV sometimes doesn't update the monitored folders and I'd like to know if there is a way to force it to check and update. For example I allready have Stargate SG-1 Seasons 01 - 04 setup and working fine but I copied Seasons 05 - 07 onto the NAS using the same solder structure \\TVComplete\Stargate SG-1\Season 05 and up until even today all it picked up was Season 05 and Season 06 but it only added one episode to Season 05 and 2 episodes to Season 06. It didn't pick up Season 07 at all. Now the naming structure of the files in Season 05 and Season 06 was like so
Stargate SG-1 [5x01] Enemies
Which I would normally go and change to "s05e01 Enemies" but granted I didn't do that until this morning but I find it weird that it still picked up on episode without changing the name format. Also Season 07 had a different format which was Stargate.SG1.s07e01.Fallen.DVDRip.avi which as far as I was concerned would have been acceptable but MyTV didn't add that one at all.
I tried restarting the MyTV Service yesterday and restarting the machine (Vista) about an hour ago but still no joy. I now may have a new issue because before I renamed Season 05 & 06 I deleted what had been added to MyTV Season 05 (1 Epsiode) and Season 06 (2 Episodes) hoping that once I renamed them that it may add them back but I'm not sure that it will now (I didn't choose to remove them from the file system either only the database).
Any ideas on this or a way to force an update of the folders would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
David
Are those the only files missing, or are there other ones from other series as well?
If there are others it sounds like the service is hanging/crashing somehow (please check the eventlogs to make sure it completes and "going to sleep"), if not it could just be one of those things (in which case they should have auto-added by now) or a file-extension or internet connectivity problem.
You should be able to force a refresh by pressing the "more info" button on your remote (or Shift+3 on keyboard) and selecting the "force refresh" button though.
It's like communicating with god. You pray and pray and pray for that bike, but you never get a response or the bike.Then you figure out how it works; you steal a bike and pray for forgiveness.
