Subsonic not detecting tag changes made outside of Subsonic

I use beets.io to tag and organize my music. If I make a change to a tag using beets the change is not reflected in Subsonic, even after a manual scan. If I go to the album I made changes to and click edit tags within Subsonic it shows the updated tags. The only way I have been able to get the changes to show in Subsonic has been to rename my music directory, re-scan in Subsonic, clean database in Subsonic, change the directory name back and scan again in Subsonic.

I am running Subsonic 6.1.3 (build e408c9) in an Ubuntu 18.04 LXC container.

Any suggestions?

If the *folder* doesn't change, subsonic doesn't look inside it for files that have changed. So one trick is to go into the folder structure in Explorer/Finder and just create a text file in the same folder as the files you want changed. then delete it. that will mark the parent folder as changed and subsonic should re-scan it for file changes.
