Scan on startup not working.

This forum is for reporting bugs in MediaMonkey for Windows 4. Note that version 4 is no longer actively maintained as it has been replaced by version 5.

Scan on startup not working.

Post by Wullail »

Version : 4.1.29.1910
Windows 10 Pro 64bit

I run MM with my library stored on my NAS.

I have all my folders (only 2 with multiple sub-folders) set to 'scan on startup' and 'continually scan for changes'.

Since the update to ver 1910, I have to manually press INS to get it to scan new files.

I does say something about monitoring folders when the program starts, but it doesn't seem to find anything.

Pressing INS just after it loads, it scans the folders and finds any new files I added.

Are you scanning a root drive, in that case that's a known problem fixed in MediaMonkey 5: https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=16806

No the two folders (and their subfolders) are

//Music/music/ and //Videos/

Are those folders still shown as selected in Add/Rescan Files for Startup Scan?

Maybe: https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=16892

Strange, this will likely not get addressed in MediaMonkey 4, you could try with MediaMonkey 5, but that has the bug I linked above for me: https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewt ... 30&t=86639

MediaMonkey 5 will get fixed though.
