It seems to be watching directories, so it would get files added/deleted events (since those are actually changes to the directory as well), and renames (again a change to the directory). It doesn't seem to be getting file changes themselves (ie, updating tags within a file) since that isn't a change to the directory, but a change to the file, which doesn't alter the directory at all. Most of the time you can add/delete/modify tags in a file and not have to rewrite the whole file (which is a create/delete/rename sort of operation) since id3 and vorbis tags try to avoid forcing a full rewrite if they can. Renaming a file does generate an event on the directory. I am back to doing a full rescan nightly for the moment because SBS doesn't "re-merge" albums correctly, but that's another bug. It also does not seem to pick up added album art via inotify updates, and since I'm on a "lets track down obscure art" binge, that gets annoying. (Ie, create an album with two tracks, each with a different album name... let the scanner pick up the two albums... correct the album name to be consistent on both tracks, and they won't get merged back together but will stay as two distinct albums even though they have the same name and are in the same directory. Only a full scan fixes that.) -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78939 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
