How to force a Media Library rescan

Proposed How to force a Media Library rescan

    I synchronize my MP3 collection on my NAS to the WHS, with a RoboCopy task that works just fine.

    Problem is that the new files are no where to be found in the Media Library. Offcourse I checked the filessystem and the files are present on NAS and in the Shared folder.

    Am I overlooking a "rescan" option to resolve this?

    LOL! This should be a consumer /end user product. Just drag and drop and be happy.

    Yes, WHS v1 made a stab at it. WHS 2011 has signally failed to improve on that. If anything, it's gone the other way.

    Try "Organise" (drop-down menu in WMP current version) > Apply Media Information Changes.

    Seems to rescan all your defined media folders.

    Feel free to give me the big green tick!
