    I would like to know, at what moment airtime generate playlist in dynamic smart blocks?
    For example, I would like to realize following scenario. 
    • I have show which repeats every week with no end and have linked content. 
    • Next, I have dynamic smart block with the same duration as the show. Smart block is generated from one criteria, for example "genre contains rock".
    • I add that block to show
    After that everything works perfectly, and every week that show have different playlist based on criteria. 
    But my problem is: if I add more songs to library that match desired criteria, that songs does't appear in show! Also if I change genre in metadata, that song still remain in show. 
    My question is: Is it possible to regenerate dynamic smart block already added to show, after I made changes in library?

    It does seem to only be generated at add/edit show time. This is a pain and a recurrent question.
    This needs a hack/fix urgently. Maybe as an add in to the media monitor code?
