Hey there!

I believe that we have two implementation for this functionality:
- Default implementation looks at the directory's last modified date. If
that changes, the playlist is reloaded. It can be a little crude.
- The inotify implementation uses inotify (
https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/inotify.7.html) and watches for the
following events:
              Inotify.S_Modify;
              Inotify.S_Moved_to;
              Inotify.S_Moved_from;
              Inotify.S_Delete;
              Inotify.S_Create;

Hope that helps!
