    Default flac tag refresh without deleting all library info?

    It would be great to be able to instruct Boxee to re-read the flac tags for a specific album. I don't want Boxee to "forget" all my manually identified videos just so I can fix one flac album via source rescan.

    Example: If an album on my drive is missing track number data or has alpha characters (e.g., A1, A2, B1) Boxee gives all tracks a track number of 0 (zero). I can go back to the files and fix the tags but Boxee does not pick up the changes during its normal periodic source scans.

    If there is not a logical place in the interface for this feature, I would be satisfied if Boxee updated its library with the updated tag info on the next media scan.

    Yeah, it sucks that once Boxee has scanned a file, it won't re-scan it even if its metadata has changed somehow.

    However, you don't have to remove ALL your sources -- in this case, unless your FLAC files are in the same source folder as your videos, all you have to do is remove that one source (for your FLAC files) and re-add it.

    Also, can't recommend enough that you think about using NFO files for those manually identified videos because chances are some day, you will need to do a rescan from scratch...
