Video Watch folder skipping ISO

My video watch folder is seems to be working for everything other than ISO files. ISO files are discovered at server restart but not after.

Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, my search kept getting rejected because it was too short. ;)

Currently using 73.8 from 4/27. but started to notice before that.

ISO-files are available in a folder "CD/DVD/BD Images (ISO)"

Understand, but I'm only seeing new ones when I full restart, scanning stop start of server does nothing with the iso. Only when I totally shut down / quit the server and restart does it see the new iso files. avi files so far don't seemed affected.

Try to describe the sequence (1, 2, 3, ...) your actions and expected results. I have no problems with ISO-files.

Ok lets see if I can show this. ** Again, problem is not with playing iso, but getting it to show up in a watch folder.** Not really doing much other than move the iso into watch folder, then have to "quit" WMS and restart it. Hope this helps. Not really a show stopper since I know how to work around it. The times have no dates listed, one might think they are reversed. but its not. guess I just restarted it about the same time as last time, but windows time and date in lower right are correct.
