can the library only be manually updated? i have all of my music stored on a file server so that the files can be accessed from multiple machines. i can manually build the xbmc library (via smb shares on the pc) but ideally i'd like it to check the server automatically for changes and make those changes to the library. that way i can just add files to the server and the next time i fire up xbmc it would update itself to know about those files.


does such a setting already exist? if so i can't find it. if not, is it planned?

you could probably write a script utilising xbmc's mp3 scanning factility. dont know if one exists
