How can you make a shortcut/favorite/macro button to Scan for new content on a particular source (which is an excluded path from library updates)?This is now possible. You can add a Tile with a Custom Kodi Action. SO you could add a Tile to any of the Menus or the Side Menu and use the following command to do what you want: UpdateLibrary(database,[path])
Right now, every time I want to update my Movies library, as I have setup my TV Shows as the only one selected for library updates, I need to go to Settings-Media-Library-Videos-Movies(right-click)-scan for new content.
I've set it up this way as my Movie library is huge and takes a lot of time to look for updates for no reason when I run Update Library after adding new TV episodes only.
Well then you are out of luck my friend. Since that is the only command that kodi provides to update a specific path.
The only other possibility is for you to create a tile that directly takes you to your video sources using the ActivateWindow Command and the video sources path: "sources://video/". With that you can at least directly jump to where your movie source is and do the right click procedure.
