Title: Auto Library refresh (e.g. every 2 Minutes)
Post by: Sonopanic on January 08, 2013, 06:37:37 am

Is there a function to do this ?
I like to simply copy a new music album or new film into a specific folder and MC takes it
into the library.

If the refresh causes too much traffic, i like to have a button or command for the action.
If there is a command, i can send it over IP.

Yes, configure auto-import for the folder you  wish to copy your stuff to and MC will automatically pick up any new files.

There are some rare cases in which this doesn't work, like on some NAS systems.

How can i activate this, when the folder is already in the library ?

Uh .. well from the top of my head ... Tools/Import ... Configure auto-import. add the folder you want to watch and go over the configuration options.

If thats already done than it should already work.

I'm sorry I can't give more detailed steps, I don't have MC handy here to check the exact steps and options.

Edit the folder.  Tools/Import/AutoImport.  Select a folder and edit.
