This is ideal if you don’t restart Kodi regularly, but still want routine updates.. Manually Updating OpenELEC If Manual update option is selected then you will need to download the update to OpenELEC.. This is particularly true if you’ve got some sort of automated system set up for recording or downloading new TV episodes, and you want to watch them right when they’re available.. Toggle those two options and your done: Kodi will now update the library every time you start it up.. Isn’t there a way to automate this? Yes: there are three options Here they are, listed in terms of how easy they are to set up: • Tell Kodi to update the library every time it starts up.. This will take a bit of time, so only enable this if you really do delete media files with some frequency.. Access the settings and you can configure whether or not each update has notifications.. If you aren’t familiar with how to install add-ons, check out Scroll down to the bottom and you’ll find Watchdog.. From here you’ll find the option to scan the library on startup Note that there is a different option for Videos and Music.. None of these methods are particularly complicated, but the two add-ons are going to require a bit more effort, with Watchdog being the most work.. Our recommendation: choose the least complicated option that does what you want.. In exchange for more complication, each option gives more flexibility than the last, so it’s worth going over all three.. Do that and only the specified folders will be updated regularly If you delete videos frequently, you might be annoyed to see them still referenced in your Library.. This is ideal if you are constantly adding new media, but takes up a lot of system resources and might prove unstable.. Option One: Update Kodi’s Library When the Program Launches Kodi can, without any add-ons, re-scan your library every time it starts up.. Upgrading XBMC Kodi on Windows is extremely easy As always, first backup your XBMC settings and library so you can go back to it in case something breaks.. By default, you need to manually tell the program to re-scan your folders every time you add something, which is annoying if you add new media regularly.. Install it and you’re pretty much done: Kodi will start adding new files to the library basically as soon as you put them in a source folder.. This doesn’t require any add-ons, but only works if you close and open Kodi regularly.. If that’s all you want, you don’t need to do anything else Option Two: Update on a Timer with Library Auto-Update RELATED: Some people rarely, if ever, restart Kodi, putting the computer to sleep instead of shutting it down.. By default all of your video sources will be scanned, but you can instead set specific folders to be scanned here.. Option Three: Monitor Your Folders in Real Time with Watchdog Scheduled updates are nice, but if you add media files constantly, they not enough.. The downside: this can take up a lot of system resources, and is occasionally unstable.. • Use Library Auto-Update, a lightweight add-on that re-scans folders on a timer you set.. Kodi can make your massive media collection easy to browse and play, but adding new media is a bit of a chore.. The Cleaning section of the settings lets you take care of that Enable the “Clean Libraries” option to regularly remove all references to any deleted files from your library.. • Use Watchdog, a slightly heavier add-on that monitors folders and adds new files in real time.. If you aren’t familiar with how to install add-ons, check out Scroll down until you find the add-on, then install it.. There will be many updates, so consider toggling this Under the Video and Music sections you can set how frequently updates occur.. If that’s your situation, Watchdog is the add-on you’re looking for You’ll find it in the default Kodi repository, under Services.. You’ll find Library Auto-Update in the default Kodi add-on respository, under Program add-ons.. If that’s you, re-scanning the library probably isn’t good enough Library Auto-Update is a Kodi add-on that lets you set a schedule for re-scanning your library.. To get started, click the Settings gear from the home screen Next, head to Media Settings.. The add-on is lightweight, too—all it does is trigger the built-in library scan on a regular basis.
