"on the players"? Is that:
On the speakers? In the controller? In the Sonos app on my Windows PC which has my library?
If the update is synched (from my PC or a Sonos device) with the android controller, is that instantaneous? Or, is the Android controller app looking at another device in real time?
"Players" meaning speakers and/or Connect units. The library indexing takes place on the players themselves, not the app. So a newer player, having more memory, can index by changed files, and copy that index to the older players. All this would be transparent to you, and your system would go back to indexing quickly.
The app itself is just displaying what it finds on the player. It does not house the index at all, it simply queries a player.

You only need to update it once. Since the music index is housed on the players themselves, the update carries over to all controllers.
