Autoscan Movie Shares?

FatManc · 2008-04-06, 16:26

Hi
This is my first post, so be kind! ;-)

I've just downloaded and installed MP and it's awesome. Works perfectly for me but have one quick question.

Is it possible to set up some kind of auto scanning of my folder share so the database gets updated automatically everytime I add new films? Currently nothing new shows until I do a manual update.

Thanks in advance

It's on the todo list, not sure if it will make it to MP1, but certainly will be in MP2.

HI
I have just started on developing such a plugin, so just give me some weeks to fulfill this.
Then you can scan on filenames or foldernames and the idea is also to have an auto-add option for movies.

Check out this thread until then: Possible to scan folders instead of files?
