[Solved]Adding music to my music folder doesn’t become visible in mpd

Running as a systemctl user service:

In ncmpcpp I normally use the directory view, but new folders aren’t appearing as they should. Any idea how to fix this/debug this issue?

They’ve appeared eventually

MPD doesn't automatically detect new additions; you need to run mpc update. If they appeared eventually, it's likely that ncmpcpp does an update on start or something.
