Setting folders, rebuilding database

Post by MabelVanA »

For a while now I've been using MM5 server, but I can't seem to find some settings (I apologise for my blind spot):
- Which folders to scan;
- How to re-scan all of the files (re-build the database).
The reason I need the latter option is that MM5 doesn't seem to notice certain changes. For instance, when I change some of the meta-data. (Adding a cover picture always helps, though.) When I rename a folder, or move files to another folder, the new entries appear but the old ones are still there too, but now the client displays "Server inaccessible. Searching...". (which is a rather misleading message, by the way).
I could live with this behaviour, though, if I would have the option of re-scanning all files from time to time.
Thanks for advise!

MediaMonkey 5? In that case Add/Rescan Files: https://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/WebHel ... ibrary/5.0 to add.

and Dead Links to find removed files (and remove them): https://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/WebHel ... Dead_Links
