Just FWIW oddly enough I am having this issue myself with my new HS-453DX NAS running QLMS - it sometimes won't pick up new music copied locally to the NAS, but it then appears 1 or 2 days later (I run a scheduled scan for new & changed 4am every morning). I'm trying to eliminate a timing issue (as I have a TS-421 RAID 5 NAS as a file server holding my master library and that replicates any changes in the library down to the new HS-453DX Music NAS using QNAP's sync application about 11pm each evening), however I've verified the files are on the Music NAS well before the scheduled scan, and if I leave it it discovers them 1 or 2 scans later as noted. I also have my older Vortexbox build and older copy of library on it - and it had a similar issues, except ones it didn't find it would never find unless you cleared and rescanned everything from scratch...

Again FWIW I have had a similar type of issue before with changing folder names (or even file names) - although have not had the specific deleting files repetition issue @Blackfiction refers to. In cases where I renamed folders or moved files to a newly created folder I would get the opposite - I'd have 2 entries in library as the orphaned entry would not get deleted - it seemed LMS didn't like it if the 'path' to the file for that entry vanished... if I straight out deleted files it would purge them from the library okay, but if I renamed the containing folder or otherwise 'broke' the path to the original file location it didn't always purge it from the library db. It also sometimes would then not pick up all the files in the new folder (or renamed folder) similar to the above. However a 'clear the db and rescan everything' would normally fix this (except for on a couple of occasions) - but this was on my Vortexbox a few years ago (2015?) so was when I was running the 7.9 official version and then the very first of the 9.x community enhanced versions - all on the latest version of Vortexbox at the time. However in these cases where they don't delete you can still see the entry in the GUI which isn't what @Blackfiction is experiencing as I understand (@Blackfiction - after the scan you could play the files form library and their paths were showing as the correct paths- correct?). It does seem there is some unusual situation that can occur that involves changes to network or drive paths that confuses LMS... Another test for @Blackfiction FWIW might be to rename the folder or such for a single album, then also rename a single file for that album (e.g. add 'test' to start of the file name) after the folder change and rescan - and see whether there are then 2 entries in the database for the artist/track - one in the old folder location with original name and one in the new folder location with the new file name? (FWIW I notice similar in MediaMonkey - if you delete files and rescan a drive or folder it only sometimes detects they are gone - often you have to manually delete them from the library). The other question for @Blackfiction is are you renaming a 'root' folder, or a subfolder of your root? i.e. the ones in red circle below (or upstream from them) - or just subfolders inside them. If you are doing the former are you adding it into the list below and removing the old one? 28960 Also when you renamed the folder in the former options screen above - did you leave an old entry and put the new entry into the above screen for the first scan after doing it, or did you just rename the old entry to the new one (assuming you changed a 'root' folder name)? +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: mediafolders1.png | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=28960| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ - Hi-Fi 1: VortexBox LMS/SOtM tX-USB; Oppo Cirrus ESS Sabre32 DAC (BDP-105D), Yamaha Aventage CX-A5000; Focal SM9s. - Hi-Fi 2: Sqbox Touch/Focal XS Books. - Hi-Fi 3: iPad/iPhones & iPeng, Plantronics BB Pro 2 LE Headphones. - Hi-Fi 1 HT: Sony 55" 4K KD-55X8500C LED, Oppo UDP-203, Apple TV 4K, PS3/PlayTV; Focal SM6s (1 Twin6, 2 Solo6, 2 Sub6). - Accessories: Tchernov Classic & Van den Hul IC; Thor PS10 Power Station; Blue Jeans & Ruleconnect Cables (Power, HDMI, USB & Coaxial); Aurios & Vibrapods. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mycenius's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56466 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111385 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
