Refresh "My Music"

Postby exekutive » 09 Jul 2020 00:14

This is probably a MacOS question only.

Underneath "LIBRARY" in the left sidebar is a section called "MY COMPUTER" which contains "My Videos", "My Music" and "My Pictures". Obviously, those are linked to the matching folders in the MacOS file system. I use them all the time to play media from my videos and music folders.

However, if I make any changes to those folders (eg add or remove files), then the changes are not reflected in the playlist. That's fine. It would probably take too many resources to constantly sync. But I couldn't find a refresh function anywhere. Currently, I'm restarting VLC every time I need to add something.

Is there a refresh, and if not, could this feature be added?

There is no refresh for now, no. We're working on that.
