Jobs

aura runs jobs in the background to keep your libraries, saved sets and backups up to date. The Jobs page lists them, sorted by when they run next.

For each job you can:

• Turn it on or off. A job that’s off doesn’t run on its schedule, but you can still run it yourself.
• Change its schedule, as a cron expression. Use crontab.guru to build one. Times use your TZ time zone.
• Run it now with the play button.

Each job shows when it ran last and when it runs next. Changes save automatically.

The Jobs

Job	Default schedule	What it does
Auto Download	Every day at midnight	Checks your saved sets with Auto Download on for new and updated images, and downloads them.
Check for New Media Items	Every 10 minutes	Asks your media server for its newest movies and shows, and adds the ones aura doesn’t have yet. It only looks at the newest items, so it can run often. With Automatically Download Images for New Items on, it also queues a set for each new item.
Refresh Media Items and Collections	Every day at 4:00 AM	Reloads everything from your media server libraries: new, changed and removed movies, shows and collections.
Check for Media Item Changes	Every 6 hours	Compares your saved items with your media server, to find items that changed or were removed. Items that are gone are removed from the database, unless they have saved sets or are ignored.
Handle Temp Ignored Items	Every 6 hours	Checks whether items you ignored until a set is available now have one.
Upgrade Saved Sets	Every day at 4:00 AM	When Automatically Upgrade Sets is on, replaces saved sets with sets from higher ranked favorite creators.
Backup Database	Every day at 3:00 AM	Backs up the database. See Backups.
Refresh MediUX Users	Every 12 hours	Updates the list of MediUX creators used by search.
Check MediUX Site Link	Every hour	MediUX has a live site and a testing site. This checks whether the testing site is up, and uses the live site if it isn’t.

Note

The Download Queue isn’t listed here. It runs all the time, and starts each download as soon as it’s added.
