Hi all.
When i'm scanning my files, many times (but not at every scan, so sometimes file is added once only), new downloads (files) are added twice.
Example :
Thursday, 05 January 2023 14:56:
Download added informations/Latest Documentations/documentation REV1.01.pdf
Thursday, 05 January 2023 14:56:
Download added informations/Latest Documentations/documentation REV1.01.pdf
And so, files appear twice on the download list. Is there any way to avoid this?
Thanks.
Hi
Which version of jD 3.9 are you using?
How are you scanning files. More details welcome!!
Are you using the Full Scan, Search only for new Directories, Search only for new Files, Check only for the existence of Categories or
Check only for the existence of Files ?
Or perhaps you are using the Files Tab to upload files to jDownloads root
Please advise.

Hi.
jDownloads 3.9.8.5
Files are located on a NFS share. So files and folder are added by some clients to it.
Files and folders are scanned each 30m by a cronjob, like:
curl -s \
"https://www.example.com/administrator/components/com_jdownloads/helpers/scan.php?key=6TB0nohLPw5WZZHaZRej&mode=0&test=0"
Please note that only some files behave like this; folders are always (2 years in production) added correctly once. Problem has always been there, i'm reporting it now only (so not tied to the used version).
Hi
First I would suggest that you update to jD3.9.8.6
Also you shoud very carefully review your scan process and use a cronjob service, for example cron-job.org
Please note I am not a cron job spe***t but know enough to use a service as there are many 'tweaks' - I would be concerned about the use of curl
Colin
Sir, how would you call an external service from cron-job.org without using CURL or WGET?
Upgraded to 3.9.8.6, same result.
Hi
Please see the Article 'Automatic Publication at Scheduled Times (Cron job)' located at in the jD 3.9 documentation.
https://www.jdownloads.net/documentation-for-v3-9/faq-v3-9/automatic-publication-at-scheduled-times-cron-job
Best wishes

Sure, see last line at the bottom of the same article. :D
This is clearly not a Cronjob problem.
Hi
In my webserver one of the tools is setting up a Cronjob as shown in the attached pic. It handles all the details.
I think to progress further I would need super user access to your site. Sometimes the assets table has got 'challenges'. I will send you a PM ,wich are safe and private
