Is it possible to add a rescan directory/file structure command in the Scheduler (i.e., a scheduled "F1" key stroke)? We often remove outdated MP3s remotely (expired promos, for example) but RB occasionally tries to grab a deleted track and play it, usually resulting in a fatal error and a system restart. (And is there a way to handle that error more elegantly?) Thanks.
Rescan command in Scheduler? (and error handing)
- Thread starter dashford
- Start date
When you play non-existent track it should just write in the report
It shouldn't result in any fatal errors let alone system restart.
Can you tell me what error message says and maybe a screenshot of it.
And a question about rescanning, where does scheduler take tracks from? Music Library?
Code:
Unable to play, error code = 2"Can you tell me what error message says and maybe a screenshot of it.

Not typically -- as you see from the above we have our promos in a Dropbox folder for easy access remotely.
All right. From the first post I thought it crashed the whole Windows system... At least it handles the error properly and restarts itself.
I think it has something to do with Dropbox. Without Dropbox it just skips non-existent files and moves on. We'll check on this one.

Thanks. I guess the term "system" can be unclear.
I should mention that the Dropbox folder we use is symbolically linked to another folder -- I believe it's the linked folder that is referenced in the Promos*1 command in the Scheduler. So perhaps it's a symbolic link issue? Thanks.

Most likely it's a bug in Dropbox module.
I added it to a bug tracker and soon we'll figure out what the problem is.
You can try clicking Settings->Open Settings Folder - check if there are any bugreport_*.txt files present and send them to support@djsoft.net.

We were unable to reproduce this problem. For removed files it just says the usual "Error code 2 File not found" and moves on to the next track.dashford said:
