RunLibraryImportScan vs. AddMediaFile
Is there any substantial difference between the two commands: RunLibraryImportScan and AddMediaFile if all I am doing is looking to add a new file in the one of the import paths to Sage?
Will the AddMediaFile method invoke BMT (if configured and installed obviously) or other plugins that listen for new media? |

If you add media to an import area, then I'd just use RunLibraryImportScan, which is what is called when you hit "Refresh Library" from the Metadata Tools web UI. (that's what I use). I have 1000s of shows/movies and when I use that to force a refresh they show up in sage almost immediately after.

Add media file works fine in my testing.

Thanks Plucky -
I am trying to figure out "NamePrefix" argument.. Should that just be the import path that matches the file I am adding? The docs say Code:
NamePrefix- the 'prefix' to prepend to the name of this media file for hierarchical purposes (i.e. the subdirectory that the file is in relative to the import root) |

BTW - If you use AddMediaFile you do not have to run RunLibraryImportScan().
