I have a streamdev server-client set up here, the server has 2 dvb cards, and handles all the recording. The client with no dvb cards using streamdev-client, shares the /video0 and /video1 directories via NFS mount, as well as epg.data. The client only ever reads from the epg.data. The client is a diskless node, and boots via etherboot across the network from the vdr server machine.
My problem is that whilst the server is busy taping recordings, the client wont see any new recordings until its restarted and does another video directory scan. Is there a way to do this scan every so often so recordings will show up on the client? I imagine if I wanted to delete recordings from the client, that they as well would appear not deleted on the server, until it was also restarted.
Any thoughts on how to get around this (force video directory scan?, occasional video directory scan by VDR?)
perform a " touch /video/.update " regards

Thank you very much! Works perfectly. I just set up a cron to do this occasionally.
