Full Version: [SOLVED] "scan for new content" via SSH?

Just wondering if there is a way to initiate a scan from an SSH terminal?

I technically could set it to scan on reboot, and reboot my device but for other reasons I cant have it auto scanning on every reboot.

thanks,

For audio
Code:
./texturecache.py ascan
For Video
Code:
./texturecache.py vscan

uNiversal's option seems to do a lot more (if you want)... im going to give it a read and see if i can make sense of it all

Ned's post did exactly what i needed
