I renamed a media file in File Station but the name didn’t get updated in the QNAP apps (Photo, Video, Music and HD Station)

Release date: 2020-09-04

In order for renamed multimedia files to show up with their new name in QNAP applications such as Photo, Video, Music and HD Station you have two options:

Rename the files from within the QNAP applications instead of File Station:

To do this, please hover over the file in your desired app and click on the information icon.
You may now choose a different title for the file, but please note that doing this will not change the original filename.

If you’d like the filename changed as well, we suggest using File Station:

Rename the file(s) you wish
Go to Control Panel > Applications > Multimedia Management > Media Library
Click on the “Rebuild media library indexing” button

After this process has been done all QNAP apps will show the actual (new) filenames correctly.
