What is the difference between "Scan for new Content" and "Update Library"?
I mainly ask because I am trying to "update" my TV Show library. I often watch the shows on my HTPC and then remove them. When I browse the TV library using the xbox...all the removed shows are of course still there. I try to "Update" the library but all the removed shows are still there. Then I use the "Scan for New Content" and they are all still there. Does the DB not remove missing items on a library scan? I can understand a reason for not wanting to remove items by default (NAS offline), but maybe an option in videos/library settings to remove them if the files are missing and the share is available.
