Hey,
I am currently running Airtime 1.9.4 on a Debian Squeeze box, everything works great except for the watch folders. Currently i am watching a folder with many thousand mp3 files, a majority of these are mp3s. airtime is finding about 20% of what it should be finding. many of the MP3s it is not finding i can navigate to my self, and they are not buried in sub folders.
So my question is, is there a way to force airtime to update this folder with out re-installing?
I have tried using,
which i know just stops and starts the services doesn't initiate a scan.
What i am really looking for is a way to dump the currently indexed files, and force it to start looking from scratch. if there is such a command, or a text file i can edit, i would love to learn.

so some more info for you i went to one of the log files for the media monitor at
all of the files (well as many as i care to look at have this for the log on there import
I think what happened after reviewing this is, one of the people in charge of managing this media ran a sorter that removed the metadata, so airtime cant tell what the files are. I do not know how to fix this easily yet. we will see if there is a short fix and i will get back to you.
Beware of this in-case you decide to sort your media, verify that the meta data remains after sort.
Edit:
We are updating all of the meta data, i still need to find out how to force airtime to update, it is not finding any changes yet. but all of the other program do.
Edit:
Problem solved, there was permissions on our network server that caused updating issues, and when the permissions were fix airtime found all of the files nicely. (after reading the metadata)

nano /var/log/airtime/media-monitor/media-monitor.log

During an edit i replaced this with a file to make it neater media-monitorAbridged.txt was a .log until i formated it for legibility
