Edits to tag data not picked up. Old entries persist - alan9990 - 13-03-2026 23:44

I read of similar issues in the forum here, but nothing seemed quite so specific to my own case...

In order to find the best 'workaround' for my current tagging that has been using dual Albumartist values, and to edit the tags in any manner that would make resulting listing more compatible, I've been editing the tags in one entire album and then rescanning.

Despite multiple rescans, restarts, logging out and back into the user session, and after a restart, the old (and by now inaccurate) Albumartist data persists, and my changes aren't visible anywhere.

I'm using BubbleUPnP on Android. I have the server share visible on a Windows PC too - both show the same "old" data.

What do I need to edit/clear/refresh in order for my changes to be visible?

As long as the file modification dates have updated, an incremental scan is all that's needed.

Have you checked the log (MinimWatch > Show log) for errors?

You can force a full rescan by setting the configuration option:

Code:

startupScan: full

and initiating a rescan.

Great! Thanks. Will check the logs now... and re above code - can I do this via cmd to stop and restart it? some option to <minm-server/bin/startd... sort of thing? Something that avoids me keep having to log in and out of my user session?

To stop and restart (same as just a restart probably):

Code:

mscript -c stop

mscript -c restart

To update the startupScan and perform a rescan:

Code:

mscript -c "prop startupScan=full"

mscript -c rescan
