Jim, you're still not completely switched over to https as the (a?) login page is still http and doesn't redirect to a (the?) https one  :(

(I can't seem to add attachments either)  :(

I would like to add to those looking for better library management, especially in theater mode.  The options often cited in these threads may work with media that JRiver has recorded but do not seem to manage files created or deleted by other programs.  For example, if a podcast is downloaded into the JRiver media folder, it will appear in JRiver.  Good.  But, if it is then deleted by another program, it still appears in the JRiver library until the reference to it is manually deleted by the user.   What is needed is some sort of Watch Folder function that removes all references to files that the Media Center no longer finds present in the folder.  If it is too difficult to do this in real time, there should be a option to schedule cleanups that remove all references and tags to missing media.

blgentry:
@TKz:  The option you are asking for already exists.  It's called Fix Broken Links.  Set it to YES and it will delete references to files that are no longer on disk.  I don't like this option personally, because I want to have full control over this process.  But it sounds like a good option for you.

TKz:
The options to write tags and to fix broken links does not work as claimed.  I have problems with it as well.  In my experience none of these remove orphan links from the library.  I use Theater View more than any other.  If a file is added to a Movie of TV Folder, the file is recognized and added to the library.  But, if the file is removed by any means other than by using MC, the broken references and links remain.  I too would like to see better library cleaning.  I'd like a Watch Folders option that removes references to files MC no longer finds after periodic scans.  It would also like option to duplicate the file structure of the folder in which the file is found  When a subfolder of videos is added to a source folder, MC sometimes divides the files between Movies and TV Shows seemingly arbitrarily, even when all the files are in a single subfolder of one or the other.
