Videos don't show up until MediaPortal is restarted (1 Viewer)

[stirlinghart]

Hi Guys,

When I put video files into my Video folder that Mediaportal uses they dont show up in Mediaportal unless I restart Mediaportal...For example. If Mediaportal is open and I alt+tab to file explorer and copy a movie from caddy to video folder then alt+tab back into Mediaportal the new videos dont show up in the list. If I close and re-open Mediaportal then the new videos show up.

Is there a way that I can refresh or re-scan for new videos added without restarting Mediaportal?

Thanks a lot in advance

Hi Elliottmc,

Thanks a lot for the reply. I just found out that the path was directed to my documents/videos folder and not my other drives video folder. After changing stuff shows up straight away. Thanks again!
