Force scan of directory

[sonichouse]

When I have loaded new files to my podcast directory I issue the following

wget --delete-after -q "http://mt-daapd:mt-daapd@slug:3689/config-update.html?action=rescan"

Would it be possible to specify a specific sub directory rather than the whole music folders ? e.g.

wget --delete-after -q "http://mt-daapd:mt-daapd@slug:3689/config-update.html?action=rescan&dir=mp3/podcasts"

This would be a more efficient process if only a few files have been added/removed.

thanks, Steve

Yeah, actually that would. I need to do something for a single file as well, but I don’t have that yet either.

I’ll add that on the current feature request list.

Hi Ron,

Whilst we are at it, can we have a function to remove a file from the database.

I delete podcasts after they are 35 days old, but unless I force a full scan, they are still in the database.

I could write some shell script to delete the associated row from the songs table, but I would prefer to send this as a http request.

Thanks, Steve.

That makes sense…

Wow, two sensible suggestions in a row, I’m on a roll 😆
