Actual media file path not updated when performing scans

Hi, recently I just change the name of one of my hard disk and right now I can't seemed to get the music to load properly. I tried to remove and re-add the media folder and also perform all kinds of scans (be in offline, normal or full) but the path to the media files doesn't seemed to be updated.

This is what it shows in the log status window:
Code: Select all
DEBUG   MediaFileService   media file not in memory, load meta data from db!

I guess you just updated the folder location in the Media folders settings tab? I think it's a bug that it doesn't remove the old files from the index when you do that. Files are only removed from the index when you delete a media folder. So, change the folder location back to what it used to be, tick the "Delete" checkbox, and press Save. This should start a "scan" where your old files are removed from the index. Then add your new media folder and scan to have those files picked up.

A few people have commented on this so I guess I should make it more impossible to fail...
