I'm doing a VideoLibrary.Scan for a new episode of a TV show, which is going off successfully (if I go into the show's directory, I see the new episode there). However, the library view itself does not acknowledge the existence of the newly-scanned show until a library clean (or a restart of XBMC) is performed, so if I just hang around in library view, I won't know there's a new episode to watch.
Here's the set of steps I'm doing... I'm hoping someone can either point out where I'm going wrong, or say "yep, that looks good, probably s a bug in XBMC"
1. I have a directory (let's assume Doctor Who) that has 5 episodes already scanned and watched.
2. In the library view, I see "Doctor Who 5 episodes". If I go into Doctor Who, I see the 5 episodes listed.
3. I add a 6th episode, and issue a VideoLibrary.Scan (assume via curl). The scan comes back with a result of OK, I see the little dropdown at the top that says Scanning for new content.
4. In my library view, I still see "Doctor Who 5 episodes".. However, if I go into Doctor Who, I see all 6 episodes listed. I expected the library view to also say there were 6 episodes, along with updating the watched flag on the directory.
5. The library's count of episodes/watched status/etc refuses to update itself until either I issue a library clean (either through XBMC itself or via the json api), or I restart XBMC.
I'm on the Ubuntu nightly ppa (just updated a few minutes ago and re-ran my tests to make sure), which means it very well could be broken in XBMC.. I just want to verify that what I'm expecting (that the library's episode count be updated properly when a new episode is scanned in) is what should be happening.
If it matters, I'm using Confluence as my skin
