How to Re-Scan a Page After It Loads More Media

Steps

1. Scan the page once with Media Resource Downloader.
2. Scroll or interact so the page loads more media (galleries, feeds, players).
3. Refresh the scan to pick up the newly loaded assets.
4. Select and download from the updated list.

Why it works this way

Modern pages rarely load all their media up front — infinite feeds, lazy-loaded galleries, and players that initialize on demand mean the first scan sees only part of the story. An instant re-scan lets you top up the detected list after the page reveals more, so you capture everything without reloading the whole tab.

Tips & edge cases

• Scroll to the bottom of feeds before a final scan.
• Trigger players so on-demand video and audio register.
• Re-scan is instant — do it freely as the page evolves.

FAQ

Why do I need to re-scan? Many pages load media lazily as you scroll or interact; re-scanning catches assets that weren’t present on the first pass.

Is re-scanning slow? No. Refresh is instant, so you can scan again whenever the page changes.

Do I lose my current selection? Re-scan refreshes the detected list; make your selection after the page has finished loading what you need.
