Refresh Sources

Feature details

Currently, VidCoder does not update the view of virtual DVD drives. I have tested this under Windows 11. If I mount another virtual drive (iso file) under Windows, then this drive cannot be mounted in VidCoder, because it is not displayed.

I have to restart VidCoder each time for the program to recognize the new drive, so it would be nice to have a button to update the sources in the list.

VidCoder Version 8.26

VidCoder is set up to listen for any inserted disc event and to show it in the UI (See DriveService.cs in the source). I just tested mounting some ISO files and it does recognize the drive and let me scan right away. Maybe the WQL watcher query is not functioning correctly in your install of Windows?

All drives are recognized normally under Windows. So added by Windows and removed again. Only not in VidCoder.

Likely Windows is using a different API, and only the method I'm using is broken here. I'll add a workaround to manually refresh the list if more people are running into this.
