Apple TV - SMB folder refresh

Postby cavaliersa » 27 Jun 2016 17:47

When using VLC for Apple TV and browsing a SMB share, is there a way to refresh the folder contents?
The only way I can see is to go all the way back to the main menu and reconnect to the share.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regrettably, that's the only way so far. The underlying libvlc parser cannot re-scan a folder as of yet.

Cool, thanks for letting me know!
Would it be possible to do a pull down refresh or other some such that simply performs a scan like it does when connecting to the share?

Yeah, that's the idea once the underlying library is fixed.
