You can do this in the Resources window with a right mouse click on the media to get a pulldown with the \textit{Rebuild index} option. For an easy way to rebuild for all of your media use \texttt{Settings $\rightarrow$ Preferences, Interface} tab, Index Files section, \textit{Delete existing indexes}. Over time, as you load media, the indexes will automatically be recreated so each load takes a little longer, but this quite often is all that is needed to repair a media problem.
