Bug Entry Point and Refresh

 
4 supporters

With the newest release, when i use a custom entry point to browse my media, it is doing a full library refresh. This can be quite annoying when its refeshing 200 movies while yor trying to view them. When using the default menu entry, this does not occur.

  • I am getting this same problem. Didn’t realise it was only an entry point problem until you mentioned it. I don’t use the main mediabrowser home screen since the entry point feature was introduced. When I go into an entry point all the the posters are visible then about 10 secs later they disappear and then start recreating, and at the bottom (diamond theme) it says Refreshing Movie Name. – SilentAssassin 6 months ago

Hmm, I'm not quite sure about this, I rewrote it so it does not.

// entry points
if (!(this.RootFolderModel == null)) {
    //refresh the root folder children in case we changed sort order
    foreach (var child in this.RootFolderModel.Children) {
        child.RefreshMetadata();
    }
}
if (IsInEntryPoint) {
    FullRefresh(this.RootFolderModel.Folder);
} else {
    FullRefresh(this.RootFolder);
}

OK I put in a fix that disables the refresh code all together for entry points.

This will make navigating to entry points really fast.

  • If you've created an icon in windows that uses an entry point to start MB directly, or if you've used something like Media Center Studio to customize Media Center, will the new logic of no refresh be applied in these situations as well? – sinjen 4 months ago

  • Hmm, interesting. So, if no refresh on startup for ANY entry points, how are collections going to be updated in MB? I ask because we get tons of questions about this issue, and most of the users have customized MC with a 3rd party tool like Media Center Studio. Just trying to understand so we can update the KB correctly and handle the questions when they come in. – sinjen 4 months ago

sorry, root always gets a refresh. Any direct navigation into non-root will not.

BUT the folder validation and standard refresh will still run. so new media will be detected. Its just new media deep in the directory structure will not.

So say you have a direct entry into TV. If you rip a new TV series it will be detected. However if you rip a new season you will have to navigate to it for MB to become aware of it.
