Watched Media Folder

Hey,

Just this server is awesome. So I use this as my backend for streaming to my iPhone with iSub when I'm on the go. I use this in conjunction with headphones & sabnzbd, which selects the artist (headphones), finds the nzb, then downloads them with Sab, which then places them in my media music folder. kind of like my personal iTunes :D Since this setup works over 3G (as my home server is actually downloading the nzb file & my phones just passing the links) I would like to have subsonic watch my library folder, so that when theres a change it will rescan the library instead of once a day. This way iSub can see the new music right away & I can stream it whileI'm out and about.

So I ask: is this possible? Modded Subsonic Configs? Scripting? I don't know? Right now, I'm using a workaround, where I've copied the link for the manual server refresh, to a bookmark on my home screen. This works, but I have to keep inputting my password (w/remember me clicked) each time my ip changes, then close the browser & reclick the bookmark for it to take effect. This is not the automated process I wish to have.

So if someone could help, or if this feature could be implemented I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,

Mark.

BTW I came across this post: http://forum.subsonic.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=10127 but his script uses wget & I'm on OSX Lion, which is causing me problems trying to install it. So if someone could translate to a OSX script, this would work too. Look forward to hearing some solutions, thanks.

Bump, but I would like to see a function like this for the exact reason as the OP described. I have a large media folder so doing a re-scan every time I add something is time consumer. Don't know if it's possible with the current way the platform is built.

Anyway, love subsonic.
