Hello again,

My wife pointed out to me that sometimes, new recorded TV shows are not showing up on our secondary HTPC (which is using the main HTPC as a library).  It doesn't happen all the time, but when it does happen, simply closing and re-opening MC on the secondary HTPC fixes it.

There's no errors or anything to give you.  I tried over the weekend to reproduce the problem with test recordings but I could not get it to happen.

Thanks!

If you have Authentication turned on in Media Server, and you have "Auto Sync with Server" turned on in Options, then the Library Server Sync should happen every few minutes.

That is, new items that appear on the Server should appear on the Client within a few minutes. They usually show up pretty quickly on my Client, and pretty reliably.

I believe the issue might be that I had added the server's library to the secondary client BEFORE enabling authentication.  I just went to the client, removed the library, and re-added it.  When I did so, I was prompted for the username and password which I do not remember happening before.  Should be good now I think.

Thanks for your help.

this will also sometimes happen to me, but I just have to back out of the shows view, and re-enter.

Yeah the view does need to be refreshed. F5 in Standard View. I'm not sure if F5 works in Theatre View, but I usually just jump back to the menu and then back into the view to see if a show has turned up yet. Most of the time I am in Standard View when adding or checking programs though.

Yeah, I'm 97% in theater view.  But I do the same as you.
