I think I have fixed this, @devil-strike could you please point users in that thread to this thread so we can go about testing a fix?

The fix I have seems to work for me but needs some further testing, thanks.

The problem seems to be lib curl, with regards to Helix we have been on lib curl 1.36 since Feb with no issues, its only recently, say the last few months I have noticed an issue when updating the Movies folder, (not picking up new content). There have been reports of issues with lib curl 1.38 doing the same thing so I tried lib curl 1.37-1, this seemed to do the trick but there has been a recent bug report for this and the curl github has now fixed the issue.

For purposes of testing here is the _fixed_ lib curl file for download and testing: https://www.sendspace.com/file/jmdhpz Just overwrite the existing one, I would advise to remove the folders and re-add them this should clean the database of any errors at the same time.

I have tested on Helix but not Gotham, so if anyone can test Gotham that would be helpful. I did find that some TV Shows weren't picked up which I fixed by removing any nfo's I had in the folder and adjust any naming convention irregularities.

The more feedback the better, if not I will just add the changes to the Helix branch and hope for the best.

@quasar1 Added it to the forum so they can test and report back in forum or here on github.

@devil-strike appreciated

I just saw @devil-strike 's reply on Boxeed in. My Boxee is rescanning even as I type. Definitely looks as if the issue has been resolved. I've already seen the names of many shows being scanned that were previously ignored. Thanks for the great work @quasar1 !

EDIT: Just finished and... sorry to say the problem has not been resolved. Yes, I saw the names of the many shows as they were being scanned (that didn't happen before) but I still have the same 12 shows in my library. For the record, yes I did delete the folder before re-scanning.

@kaymc I think the Helix coding for the database has got some bugs which have recently been introduced. For me the fixed lib curl fixed an issue when updating the Movies folder where it would not find the newly added content after selecting update. I found that my TV Shows folder was still missing some folders after it had finished scanning even though in Videos it listed all the folders correctly. What I did was look in the first folder that it missed which is located on my NAS and see if anything was amiss, I had some .nfo files in there which weren't needed so after I deleted those and updated it pulled that folder into the database and was visible now in TV Shows. After that I did find that I did have to alter the naming convention on some files in other folders that weren't picked up in the database. It was after fixing the folders near the top of the list that other folders showed up below, so it must get stuck because of odd issues in some folders and not carry on scanning the rest. Give that a try. btw. I do not post in the forums.
