[Finished] SlimTvService: Only refresh media library for single file (1 Viewer)

[MrTechno]

SlimTvService refreshes the recorded TV media source when a recording finishes, but the refresh level is right at the top i.e. the whole media source even though only a single item (TS / XML files) have changed:

[2017-03-04 10:10:11,826] [52459572] [scheduler thread] [INFO ] - SlimTvService: RecordingEnded: Z:\ServerFolders\Recorded TV\Power Rangers_ Dino Supercharge\Power Rangers_ Dino Supercharge - 20170304_1.ts
[2017-03-04 10:10:11,827] [52459573] [scheduler thread] [INFO ] - ImporterWorker: Refresh for path '{e88e64a8-0233-4fdf-ba27-0b44c6a39ae9}:///Z:/ServerFolders/Recorded TV/', MediaCategories: 'Movie,Series,Video', including subdirectories requested...

The trigger should be restricted to just that file.

Your findings are correct: on recording start/end the full media source is imported. This should be fast enough as all other files are unchanged and should be skipped.

The technical reason for this it the kind of media source import handling: it always starts at root of configured source, selects the required MetaDataExtractors, processes and saves all directories recursively, and processes the contained files.

So the problem is to start with a "deep path" to a single file, it doesn't know or process all parent steps, folders and MDE selection. This would require some major code changes, so the current way was considered as best compromise.

That makes sense. The import problems are probably specific to my setup where the running import hasn't finished yet.
