Total Newbie - Apologies in Advance
I have just downloaded and installed MinimServer on my Synology NAS. The instructions on the website were straightforward, and I thank whoever posted them.

I know very little about this streaming business, having been doing it for only a couple of weeks. I am a small way in to ripping my collection of (~3000 CDs). It is a painful process.

I am trialling MinimServer with Kinsky (and finding it much much better than Twonky - maybe I set up Twonky wrong).

My Sonos interface allows me to update the music library at the click of a few buttons or it does it at 2 am. My stupid newbie question for today is: How do I update the library (for example, when I rip in a load of new CDs) using the Kinsky/MinimServer set up. I am aware that there is a "rescan library button" within the MinimServer interface on my NAS. Is there a way of setting this to auto-rescan once a day or every x hours? Apologies if this question is the stupidest yet asked on this forum.

By the way, if you are wondering why I don't just stick with my very passable Sonos interface, well .....

I thought that I had cured myself of this curious Hi Fi sickness. I have been prone to some nonsense in the past. For example, whilst ripping my CDs, I am still coming across some discs that I have inked with green pen in the past (remember that one?), and the wife never fails to chastise me for the time I put a load of my CDs in the deep freeze.

I have been trying out the Linn Kinsky interface because (of course) I am wondering about a future purchase of something from Linn. I wanted to make sure all the streaming side would work before throwing a load of cash at the system. [Sorry for the dull semi-Bio.]

Thanks in anticipation of your question.

Unfortunately, this will probably not be my last stupid question.
