Hey there! Giving this docker a go but it doesn't seem to scan folders recursively. Any chance that could be added or will be added in the future? I keep my video files organized and don't want them all dumped into one folder. Thanks!

Fireshare already handles scanning for video files recursively.

You don't need to have them all in a single folder. However, on the frontend it will categorize all your videos based on the top level folders name.

So if your media is structured like this...
 

/media/game_1/awesome_clips/my_awesome_game_1_clip.mp4
/media/game_1/funny_clips/my_funny_clip.mp4
/media/game_1/random_clip.mp4

/media/game_2/awesome_clips/my_awesome_game_2_clip.mp4
/media/game_2/weird_stuff/weird_clip.mp4



The front-end web app will give you these categories that all of your clips will show up under.
 

game_1/
     my_awesome_game_1_clip
     my_funny_clip
     random_clip

game_2/
     my_awesome_game_2_clip
     weird_clip

It just took a lot longer to show up than expected. It is working. Thanks.

@Cheezelz Fireshare uses its database as the source of truth. So if you don't delete your files using fireshare it will think that the file is missing (i.e maybe a drive didn't mount, or it moved, etc, etc).

So in your case to remedy the issue, you can do this in one of two ways currently.
1. On every file in Fireshare that says "File Missing" click the edit button (pencil icon) and choose "Delete". This will delete the file and all associated data (thumbnail, symlink, db entry).
2. If you have too many "Missing File" files that you don't want to have to manually delete using method 1, you can instead stop the fireshare container and then delete the "db.sqlite" file located in your fireshare appdata directory. Then start the container again. This will require that fireshare re-scans all your files. You will also lose all of your view counts on your files.

Yeah that second option sounds great, thanks for the info!
