RE: New *RecentChanged similar to *RecentAdded
Thanks for explaining this. It helps me understand why you have made this request.

foobar2000 is a very impressive product. It includes a UPnP server, UPnP control point, tagger and transcoder. It also provides a platform that supports a huge number of very useful plug-in components.

In contrast, MinimServer is purely a UPnP server. There have been requests to add other functionality such as tag editing, a control point and a proxy OpenHome renderer. My response to these requests has been that I would prefer to put my efforts into making MinimServer a better UPnP server and let others put their efforts into creating and enhancing these other components of the digital audio ecosystem.

It seems to me that this is a similar situation. Adding LastModified support to MinimServer in the basic form that I have described would fall far short of what Facets and other library managers can do. This is likely to lead to requests for enhancements to provide more functionality for indexing files for library management purposes, which is a different scenario from MinimServer's primary purpose of working in conjunction with a UPnP control point to find and select music to play.

For these reasons I think it would be better not to go down the path of trying to add library management functionality to MinimServer but leave this to other products for which it is a primary feature.
