Scan based on file creation date/time #127

Hi,

I have no clue if its possible or not. I run manual trigger most of the time and that means I can only scan one TV Show or Movie at a time. But would be great if I can select the date from calendar which will trigger the scan based on last number of days. This way I have lot of files scanned but not the whole library.

I hope this explains little bit.

Thanks

This would best be achieved using an external script hooked up to cron.

Script could perform the following:

  1. Find all files modified since 2021-07-14 00:00:00
  2. Send files to autoscan manual

Hook this up to cron on an interval you are comfortable with.

It is unlikely this will ever be added directly to autoscan.

Horoay you are very clever :) thank you so much.

I am using Web UI for manual scan but I will use it find and then scan.

Thanks again.
