Discussion:
Confused about scanning

Once upon a time Ben Scott shaped the electrons to say...
SGI do something called FAM to watch for changes to the filesystem -
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/fam/index.html - but this only works for
Irix/Linux according to the FAQ (though I think there's a Solaris port),
and isn't standard in a lot of distributions.
Just thought I'd mention this - I don't know how suitable it would be as
I've not used it from a developers POV!
I used fam/imon on Irix a few years ago for watching file systems and
transfering files. The userland program that registered itself with fam
worked well, but fam itself was flakey. Granted this was on Irix 6.1.

However, as a generic solution, it's not good, and very platform dependent.

Not the right way to go.

Very interesting. We should use this.
Does anyone know if any unices provide something like this?

Very interesting. We should use this.

Does anyone know if any unices provide something like this?
On Windows you can use the FindFirstChangeNotification (Win32 API)
function to get notified when there a change to a dir/subtree.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fileio/file
sio_9hgu.asp
/r
This isn't what select does at all. Select tells you the
readability/writeablity status of a file descriptor. It has nothing to do
with detecting changes on the file system.
in C there is a select() statement which will return when a fd changes
state. Can we do this for a
directory? Then we dont pol the directory for changes, the OS would tell
us....
Interesting. Why?
I think this will always have to be optional.
I guess I mean that I'd want an (possibly advanced) option to turn it
off. I
don't think scanning can get to be any faster than find and I don't
want that
running all the time either. At the very least, it will impact the
OS in
terms of memory usage (disk caches.).
That's fair. We should probably add a Rescan button to the main
server settings page so people have a facility to notify the server
that there is new music there.

It would be a wonderful thing if the OS gave you a way to detect changes
in areas of interest on the file system. I don't know of any way to do
that, on any OS. So Dean's continuous background scanning is really the
only way to do it if you want to pick up the changes automatically.
Your absolutely right. *blush*
But my point was poling versus interupt.

We sort of have this already. All you need to do is visit the top of
the subtree in Music Library and press play. Documentation of this
might be nice.

-dean
At least on *nix, I think some scripting is very likely to be involved in
moving new music into the library. When this happens, we know it and the
script can easily invoke some server URL entry point to restart the scan or
(better) just scan a (new) subtree. This might not be the right solution for
everyone on windows, but it's perfect for the power unix user.
On Windows you can use the FindFirstChangeNotification (Win32 API)
function to get notified when there a change to a dir/subtree.

I'd rather see scheduled/manual rescans.
Well, we'd have to do it potentially for many directories, depending
on how the user has their music organized.
in C there is a select() statement which will return when a fd
changes state. Can we do this for a
directory? Then we dont pol the directory for changes, the OS would

I've been thinking that once we get the scanning so that it doesn't
impact the user interface (make the animations jumpy, etc...) we
should have it scan all the time. Once it finishes a complete scan,
just start over.
But we're not there yet.

I think this will always have to be optional.
I've been thinking that once we get the scanning so that it doesn't
impact the user interface (make the animations jumpy, etc...) we
should have it scan all the time. Once it finishes a complete scan,
just start over.
But we're not there yet.

If you add files to the directory, it won't find them automatically
unless it already happens to be scanning.

If you navigate your music library and look at those songs (you don't
have to play them, just see their titles) they will get added to the
database automatically.

I've been thinking that once we get the scanning so that it doesn't

should have it scan all the time. Once it finishes a complete scan,
just start over.

I guess I don't quite understand how this works. Suppose I add some stuff to
my mp3dir while the server is running. Does it rescan? It seems it does.
How does it know? Does everyone think this is a good idea?
