Re scanning NAS drive

[Searle54 (Ben Searle)]

I am using a NAS drive for my own music and Mosaic accesses this without out any problems. However, I have changed the contents of some of the albums on the NAS due to some previous errors. Mosaic hasn’t picked up my changes.

So, is there anyway I can re-scan my NAS to ensure I’m accessing the corrected albums.

I hope this makes sense.

Hi Ben,

Welcome to the club.

You will find your answer here:

Recognizing new files on NAS drive

I recently implemented a Sinology NAS with the minimserver app. I was able to transfer a folder of music files to the NAS and with some trial and error, got the Mosaic software to see and play the files. Today, I purchased two new downloads of music. I moved the files from the computer’s download folder to the NAS and I can see the new music files in the same folder on the NAS as the original music files. I can see that the new files are the correct size and type. BUT, Mosaic does NOT see t…

Ben, as Erno suggests, you need to take a look at the specific UPnP Server that you’re running to know how best to update its database once you add new files to your NAS.

Some UPnP Servers have settings to periodically resync it’s database automatically, whereas others require manual trigger.

The dCS Mosaic has nothing to do with file resync’ing, it’s just a control-point front-end to the UPnP Server, and relies entirely on the UPnP Server telling it what files are available for playback streams.

Thanks for the replies guys……I will look at the minimserver app today and work out how to ensure my changes are added. Thanks for the words on Mosaic and how it does not perform this roll. I have been using Roon up to now which does do a re scan. However, I am finding Mosaic much better in sound quality and need to get use to having the minimserver app as well.

Thanks again for the help, much appreciated.
