Another update:  If a known file is renamed within a Videos folder a 
rescan doesn't reflect this; it still appears and plays under its 
original name.

If it is moved out of the folder it disappears on a rescan.  If it is 
then moved back again another scan shows it under its new name.  I think 
that explains what I was, and am, seeing in 0.24-fixes.

My posts probably aren't relevant to the OP's concerns about the 
0.25_pre build.
