Multiple Scheduled Maintenance

[mkhuber1]

Is it possible to schedule multiple maintain library jobs during a day?

Scheduling maintenance can only be done daily.

In the upcoming Mezzmo v5.0, we have added auto folder refreshing. This should replace the need for most users to maintain their library on a daily schedule like you are probably doing now. Most users maintain their library on a daily schedule so that Mezzmo picks up their new files in their folders and adds them into their Mezzmo library with full metadata and artwork. In Mezzmo v5.0, if you right-click on a folder and click ‘Properties’, then on the Folder Properties dialog, you will see a new checkbox relating to the refresh interval for the folder. This lets you tell Mezzmo how often you want Mezzmo to scan through this folder looking for changes (i.e. new files, deleted files, etc.). At your preferred refresh interval, Mezzmo will check the folder (and sub-folders) for new files and add them into your Mezzmo library (with metadata and artwork) and also update your active/smart playlists. This is a much better way to handle new files. Also, another benefit is that folder refreshing works in both Mezzmo (Windows) app and Mezzmo server, so you can now exit Mezzmo (Windows) app and leave Mezzmo server running to handle it for you (i.e. no need to have Mezzmo (Windows) app running like you did have to for daily maintenance). Mezzmo v5.0 is due to be released in the next week and is a free upgrade for all registered Mezzmo users.

I don't see it in 5.0.2 ???

Hmmm, wondered what "Pro" meant. Didn't see anything about Pro versus other on the web site. Had installed on a machine I use for testing to see what it looks like so I hadn't entered my license info. Once registered, now the Properties dialog has the refresh interval you spoke of.

Glad you worked it out :). We are updating the web site now and will have a wiki explaining all the new features (and the differences between the free Mezzmo and the paid Mezzmo Pro).
