Common Commands

Amulet automatically indexes all your media files every night, to ensure any newly added files are available to you through voice. Newly recorded TV programs are indexed as soon as the recording completes.

If you add new music files, photos or video files, or edit your TV channel lineup, you can issue one of these commands to ask Amulet to index the new files immediately.

(UPDATE / INDEX / RE‐INDEX) MOVIES

(UPDATE / INDEX / RE‐INDEX) [TV] PROGRAMS
(UPDATE / INDEX / RE‐INDEX) CHANNEL NAMES

Updates the index for the chosen media type.

Amulet will advise when the indexing is complete, and your newly added media will then be available through voice commands and on the Amulet interface pages.
