Maintaining playlist

**AWSHO** · 11-20-2018, 03:30 AM

I am running Mezzmo 5.2.0.0. I seem to be having a problem with Mezzmo recognizing new TV series I have added into my TV series folder. I have tried right clicking and maintain playlist, but nothing changes. And yes Mezzmo is running. This seems to have started happening in the last month or so. Any ideas?

I also do not have a tab to try and schedule a time for maintaining my playlists. I just have a tab that says "maintain now". What am I missing?

Any suggestions and help are appreciated. I ditched Plex in the past for similar problems with movies. Mezzmo seems sooo much better, but am having these issues.

Have you added the TV series folder to Mezzmo as a folder or have you scanned the folder to add the files? Adding the folder will allow Mezzmo to check for new files and add them to the library, scanning for files will just add them once and then to add new files you will need to scan the folder again. See http://www.mezzmo.com/wiki/doku.php?id=adding_folders&s[]=add&s[]=folder for more information.

I thought I added it as a folder. It is a folder on my computer. How do I tell if it is in Mezzmo as a folder? If it is not can I add it as a new folder without Mezzmo scanning everything twice? I thought I added my TV SERIES just like my other folders, perhaps not. If it isn't in as a folder which tutorial do I use to do it correctly. I thought I knew what I was doing. Thanks as always for your help.
If it is not a folder is it possible to just change it as a folder entry in Mezzmo?
Hope I made sense!

I just looked into Mezzmo and my TV SERIES is not showing as a folder. It is just a playlist. Would it be easier to just delete this playlist and try to add it properly as a folder?
Thanks Peter for all your help.

You can add the folder to Mezzmo from the 'Add to Library...' button on the toolbar and Mezzmo will scan the folder and add any new files, existing files will remain as they are. It is best to keep the playlist as it is and add the folder in addition to the playlist.

OK Peter, I have successfully got my TV Series folder into the folder section of Mezzmo. Don't know what I did wrong the first time. Now I have two entries in the folder section titled TV Series. Is it possible to remove the TV Series playlist from the folder structure?

Also possibly a redundant question, but what is the difference between a playlist and a folder. If they are both showing the same information?
