Auto-update local library while running

[adamcik]

Logical step would be to start re-factoring the current scanner into an actor, then run the actor as a thread for the server case, and directly for the command case. This might entail using inotify if present, and falling back to mtime checks and just waiting a predefined time before the next check.

ahm... bump?

Any updates on this? It's been four years. (auto scanning local library)

With the upcoming switch to/merge of Mopidy-Local-SQLite, it will be possible to run a mopidy local scan in the background, e.g. using a cron job or manually/scripted after updating some files. If you've implemented something atop of inotify or such, PRs are welcome, of course!

I suggest we keep this issue open to track any work on autoscanning as a feature, so I'm removing it from the 3.0 milestone.
