[mythtv-users] Leanfront - any way to trigger re-scan of videos folder?

I'm a recent-ish Leanfront convert, having lived my prior life with a 
combined FE/BE system plugged directly into the TV.  And I absolutely 
*love* it, so thanks much to anyone involved in making that happen.

The one thing I encountered recently was that my "Videos" collection 
wasn't picking up new files that I put in the directory.  Even after 
clicking re-scan or refresh or whatever it was in the Leanfront UI.

I ended up going back to my BE system (which still has the FE on it) and 
manually re-scanning videos using the normal MythTV frontend UI.  And 
after this, the videos showed up on Leanfront.

My question is: Is there a way to manually trigger a re-scan of MythTV 
Videos in a world where the backend system isn't readily available?


Thanks!
