Hi Folks,
From reading the forums, I see I’m not the only one with this issue. I’ve tried it on both Samba shares and NFS shares with the same inconsistent results.
After much frustration, I gave up and created a linux based script that clears the library and then causes it to do a manual rescan. I have this set to run at 5 am each day, and it seems to have been working for the last week quite well.
I’m running this from my main server, which happens to be a Ubuntu based server, so this script would be specific to the linux version of Telnet. This works for the current firmware for the WDTV Live SMP. It basically walks through a series of menus and then chooses to clear the media library.
Without further ado, here is the script that I use. Hopefully its helpful to others as well:
<-----------Start Script -------------->
(
echo open your.IP.address.HERE 30000
sleep 2
echo “e”
sleep 2
echo “^[[D”
sleep 1
echo “^[[D”
sleep 1
echo “^[[D”
sleep 1
echo “^[[D”
sleep 1
echo “^[[D”
sleep 1
echo “^[[D”
sleep 1
echo “^[[D”
sleep 1
echo “k”
sleep 2
echo “^[[D”
sleep 1
echo “k”
sleep 2
echo “^[[D”
sleep 1
echo “k”
sleep 2
echo “^[[R”
sleep 1
echo “k”
sleep 15
echo “o”

sleep 1

<-----------End Script -------------->
