app:library:scan
Scan a media library for new, changed, or removed files. This indexes the contents of the library so Baander can serve them.
Quick start
make exec cmd="php bin/console app:library:scan my-music"Arguments
| Argument | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
slug |
Yes | The slug of the library to scan |
Details
The scan discovers media files in the library's directory, extracts metadata, and updates the database. For large libraries, this can take a while — the command runs synchronously and prints a summary table when done.
The slug is the same value shown when you created the library (or auto-generated from its name).
Exit codes
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | Scan completed successfully |
| 1 | Invalid slug or scan failed — check the error message |
Tips
- Run this after adding new files to a library directory.
- For large initial imports, consider running the scan during off-peak hours.
- The scan is idempotent — running it multiple times on the same library is safe.
