If I add a new episode or series, is it possible to immediately watch it through MP2 or must I wait a minimum of 1 hour for MP2 see the change and make it available.

    Hi.
    If you've activated the "sharewatcher" feature then it should last a maximum of 5 minutes until an import is started automatically. This feature is a Windows internal feature (Windows filesystem watcher) and sadly it is not 100% reliable. So sometimes it did not "see" the new files. This is something we can not fix as it is part of Windows itself.

    Nevertheless you always can trigger an import manually, every time you want it. This can be done in settings -> media sources overview. The next major MP2 version (MP 2.2) will also add an option to trigger a re- import to the context menu of any media item.

    Depending on the size of your shares it can take some minutes after starting the re- import until the new media is shown in GUI.

    Hi. I was probably being a bit fast and loose with my terminology. I meant "somewhere within the files that MP2 uses in its database". Anyway, I found a way to do this which was far from automated but relatively low effort. I found what looked like all the images (CD covers, DVD covers, backgrounds etc all lumped together in...

    Got a reply from SD ... "Looks like your last successful download was on 5/23. On 5/24 for some reason we received 194 connections between 10:54 and 11:05 triggering a denial of service attack ban. The logs show it was lifted on 5/25, but I still see the entry in iptables. I reset fail2ban and hopefully you're working again." Weird...
