I've added my "Music" and "Video" folders to my media library in VLC which is useful, but it doesn't seem to update itself when I add/delete/rename files (using my file manager).
The only way I can find to update VLC's record/cache is to remove and re-add the Music/Video folder to the media library. Is there a better way?
It depends which Video and Music folders you have added. Under windows, the "My Videos" and "My Music" folders under "My Documents" will be automatically updated when you restart vlc.
