Running Auto-Import doesn't detect all of my media.

I have a Mac mini running Media Center 23.0.41. It mounts my library with SMB/CIFS from my Synology NAS. Auto-import is configured to only import Audio files, not analyze audio, and update for external changes. I've noticed that after it completes I'm missing albums from my library.

I can manually import them using Tools > Import > Import a single folder and specifying the artist folder with the missing albums (my music is organized Artist/Album_Name). This doesn't seem to work if I "import single folder" the same folder that I select for Auto-Import (/Volumes/music).

How do I get auto-import to include all of my media when importing?

Check if you have the problem discussed in this thread first: https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,112178.0.html

It actually looks like the issue is a case sensitivity one.

If I have 2 folders 'Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' and 'Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers' only 1 of the folders will be imported. I've merged my folders to solve the problem in the short-term but it'd be nice if there was a way to have auto import treat both folders individually since that's what the file system is doing.

Is there a setting to achieve this?

You are running a case sensitive OSX filesystem?

blgentry:
A few web searches seem to indicate that SMB shares, when mounted on Mac OS X, are not treated as case sensitive.  In other words, OS X ignores case sensitivity on these shares.

If you're going to use SMB, it sounds like you need to have non-overlapping names with respect to CaSE.
