When add an new episode to tv show I must firstly scan it in ember then open xbmc, navigate to the tv show, press the 'c' button and select 'Scan for new content" for it to be visible in the tv shows. It won't automatically detect like a movie does. It will be visible in videos but not tv shows
Is there a way it isn't necessary for xbmc to detect new episodes without the need to scan it with ember first?
This really isn't relevant to Ember, but I'll explain.
I run TV Rename, then scrape the data "which means the info/text, and the covers/fanart etc" using Ember. If you want XBMC to automatically detect new content without having to also press c, and go scan for new content, you can make XBMC automatically scan for new content every time XBMC is started. Its in XBMC settings. I can't remember the exact location where this setting is, but its definitely there.
If you're using a remote control and XBMCCustomRegis, then pressing the * button will update your library (basically it does c, scan for new content etc). This makes updating the library easy and perhaps a better option than having auto-update library on startup enabled as you don't have to wait for it to check for new items every time you open xbmc.
