xPLMediaNet - Alternative Scanning Added

["Tony Tofts" <tony@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Following on from requests to be able to scan a particular folder and the
possibility of using 'watchers' I've introduced the following:

Sources can now optionally load a file system watcher and action
notifications of changes

This will allow the media scanner to action new files, movements, deletions
in realtime and things like queries and shoutcasts to auto reload when
changes have been made

This is optional as it has many overheads e.g. memory (a lot, but can be
tweaked) and the fact that each source needs 2 watchers running to cover
folders and files seperately as the watcher interface doesn't unfortunately
return any info regarding whether the object is a file or folder.

With regard to scanning a particular folder on demand I'm hoping the above
will mean this isn't required. But if it is then I will revisit it when
everythings been released to see if it's possible to add a 'scan' function
to the windows explorer context menu

Regards
Tony
