What is your folder path structure - Qmultimedia/Music/Artist/Album - > or are there sub folders between Music and Artist? My original file structure > was Qrecordings/MUSIC/FLAC and Qrecordings/MUSIC/MP3. When new files were missing I consolidated all MUSIC files into one folder, Qmultimedia/MUSIC. All files visible and playable except for newly added files. Coincidentally,when trying to fallback to my original file path Qrecordings/ MUSIC/ XXXX, it now appears that MUSIC in Qrecordings is not selectable in LMS?
