NAME

       supysonic-cli-folder - Supysonic folder management commands

SYNOPSIS

       supysonic-cli folder --help

       supysonic-cli folder list

       supysonic-cli folder add <name> <path>

       supysonic-cli folder delete <name>

       supysonic-cli folder scan [--force] [--background | --foreground] <name>

DESCRIPTION

       The supysonic-cli folder subcommand manages your library folders, where the audio files are located. This
       allows one to list, add, delete and scan the folders.

ARGUMENTS

       list   List all the folders.

       add <name> <path>
              Add a new library folder called <name> and located at <path>. <name> must  be  unique  and  <path>
              pointing  to  an  existing  directory.  If supysonic-daemon is running it will start to listen for
              changes in this folder but will not scan files already present in the folder.

       delete <name>
              Delete the folder called <name>.

       scan [--force] [--background | --foreground] <name>
              Scan the specified folders. If none is given, all the registered folders are scanned.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              Shows help and exits. Depending on where this option appears it will  either  list  the  available
              commands or display help for a specific command.

       -f, --force
              Force  scan  of  already known files even if they haven't changed. Might be useful if an update to
              supysonic adds new metadata to audio files.

       --background
              Scan in the background. Requires the supysonic-daemon to be running.

       --foreground
              Scan in the foreground, blocking the process while the scan is running.

       If neither --background nor --foreground is provided, supysonic-cli will try to connect to the daemon  to
       initiate a background scan, falling back to a foreground scan if it isn't available.

EXAMPLES

       To add a new folder to your music library, you can do something like this:

          $ supysonic-cli folder add MyLibrary /home/username/Music

       Once you've added a folder, you will need to scan it:

          $ supysonic-cli folder scan MyLibrary

       The  audio  files  residing  in  /home/username/Music  will  now appear under the MyLibrary folder on the
       clients.
