Auto Rescan package for Synology users (formerly known as Auto Restart package)

[simoncn]

There are a number of issues here:

1) A rescan stops and restarts the MinimServer media server component, so browsing and music selection is not possible during the rescan, although music does continue to play if it was started before the rescan was initiated.

2) It is only possible to rescan the whole library, not individual folders or content directories.

3) MinimServer does not automatically detect changes to the library and automatically rescan the new or changed files.

As you have pointed out, fixing 3) without also fixing 1) and 2) would make the user experience worse, not better. My priority is therefore to start with 1) and 2) before addressing 3). Unfortunately, fixing 1) and 2) requires major changes to the design of MinimServer. I have made a start on these changes but a lot more work is needed.
