Updating Library (remote sources)
#1
Hi All,

This post is a regarding updating of Library contents via HTTP (and FTP).

Is there any possibility to only do updates / scans to content that has been change? Apache (and most other web-servers) have the "Last modified" field when doing directory indexes which could be used to gauge if new content has been added to that location.

This is typically not an issue if you a very small amount of series but as an archive grows (480+ series / 7 TB) in a single location, having a "handful" of people scanning every single directory + file (HEAD requests) causes unnecessary work / time to check for new content where it could take seconds if the "Last Modified" field was checked/used. The same type of checking could be applied to scanning for new content via FTP which takes a considerable amount of time.

Regards,
Cami
