Hello all, I haven't needed topost here at all because coming from a WDTV to an XBMC is a 2 million% improvement on it's own. I have an issue though and it happens like 95% of the time. Getting to be a bit frustrating and it's putting my library really out of wack!
For example, I already have and am able to see these files in my XBMC:
Homeland s01e01.mkv
Homeland s01e02.mkv
Homeland s01e03.mkv
I download "Homeland s01e04.mkv" and the file is in the same folder as the others, I even launch it on my PC incase my eyes are playing tricks on me. But the XBMC does not find it in Movies, or under Files. The only workaround is to go to Files, open up the Homeland folder, then on my PC I rename s01e04 to s01e03, then go back on my phone and launch s01e03. This is my flippin workaround. So it's evident that the file is there. and for some reason only playable once I rename it with another one that XBMC has already detected, but still it does not appear on my iPhone, Android, iPad, Webgui or through the XBMC itself.
It seems as if my XBMC is not scanning at all. I force a library update and still does not appear.
I will add that eventually....that do appear, like the next week when I am onto the next episode I notice that they are in Files.
From what I understood by going through Files it's like browsing the NFS Share/Samba share directly and getting the latest content? I understand it not showing up under "Movies" because it didn't scrape yet(4 hour intervals) but why is it taking so long to appear through Files?
Thanks guys
Mike
