Manually trigger a disk scan

Help & Support
1

Is there a way I can trigger a disk scan manually, perhaps by something like NZBDrone.exe /s:Bones /Scandisk or NZBDrone.exe /ScandiskAll.
The reason is I use an external renamer and I need to scan the Series folder as soon as I make a change.
I want to use a batch script for this.

You can do it via the API, but will need to know the seriesId if you want to scan a single series.

I have added a new command to rescan the disk only (RescanSeries), which is available in develop, will go to master in the next release. API doss are on the wiki here: https://github.com/NzbDrone/NzbDrone/wiki/API

Thanks I’ll have a look at the API’s, but I think the RescanSeries would suit my needs better, looking forward to that.

Could you perhaps show me a few examples of the command structure to use from http://localhost:8989/api ?

Its a json body.

{ "name": "rescanseries", "seriesId": 1 }
