iTunes not updating after new scan

[hcibeau]

I assumed that after rescanning via. the web interface the new playlists ( assuming I added new .m3u files ) would show up in iTunes. As far as I can tell, it does not work that way.

The new playlist does show up when I reconnect, but it seems like this is something that should probably “just happen” without having to reconnect to the server every time I add new files and playlists.

Maybe it is a side effect of one of the other background scanning features? Or maybe it just is not implemented yet? Or maybe I have something else wrong… like I am not waiting long enough? 😉

Thanks!

Nope, just that incremental updates aren’t implemented yet. It requires adding version numbers to the database, and I just haven’t done it yet.

I will do, though. Just takes some time.

Alright, thanks for the reply.

Anything I can do to help? 😉
