I have been searching for instructions regarding rescanning the /var/lib/mythtv/video folder. Most instructions are dated and reference older mythtv versions. Some note that mythvideo has been 'pulled into' the mythcore with version 0.25. I am running 0.25. How do I rescan for new videos (*.mkv and/or *.avi) within the above mentioned video path?

When in MythVideo, hit M, then 'Scan for changes'.

1Searching pays off. In my case I am running Mythbuntu headless and do not have a keyboard attached. Via ssh I can run 'mythutil --scanvideos' and it triggers a re-scan of all video directories. Please tag this as "SOLVED". Thank you.– bobwdnDec 6, 2012 at 19:23
