Watch Folders contain renamed (old folder names) folders

Post by Victorio »

Need some help here...

I'm fond of WMF and got a 1TB HDD this week. I threw all my movies form external HDD's on my new drive and managed the folders very nicely.

However, now I have the problem that some times when I rename a folder that contains moviefolders, WMS still shows the OLD folders (and movies) and also the NEW foldernames (and movies).

Why does it index the old foldernames? They don't exist anymore!

When I navigate to the old folders from my tv and play a movie (that doesnt exist ofcourse) I get the error "format not supported". :)

How do I get WMS to scan/index all EXISTING (sub)folders, and not old/renamed folders?

Oh well... managed to find a workaround...

I removed all folders from my folderlist (settings) and then structured my movies within new folders.
After applying the settings and a scan the right folders are now shared.

But imo it's still a bug that when I rename a folder the old name still appears to be shared while it doesnt exist.

Maybe you choose to scan the current directory instead of scanning all directories ..
