*		How to Add Content to MediaTomb

Select the directory or file that you wish to add to the MediaTomb database and click either on 
the "Add" button (MediaTomb Add Button) or on the "Add AutoScan" button (MediaTomb Add Autoscan 
Button) to add it to the database.

Note: the difference between the two buttons is that "AutoScan" will periodically scan the directory 
for new content and add them to the database - so it's useful here, for example, if I might be 
uploading other music under this directory.

=========== config ===============
port:
port i5 51234
port NAS 54321

firewall: 
sudo ufw allow 1900/tcp
sudo ufw allow 1900/udp
sudo ufw allow 49152/tcp
sudo ufw allow 49152/udp 

Samsung:
Bei TVs der Marke Samsung wird der RFC2396 verletzt, was dazu führt, dass mit allshare nicht auf den Mediatomb-Server zugegriffen werden kann.

*		mannualy update/autoscan MEDIATOMB database 
without using INOTiFY or TIMED fascility from 
MEDIATOMB WEB interface. I want to run update/autoscan mannualy 
"by hand" via script etc.
There is a command line option available that should let you do that.

   5.11. Add Content
--add or -a

Add the specified directory or file name to the database without UI interaction. The path must 
be absolute, if path is a directory then it will be added recursively. If path is a file, then 
only the given file will be imported.

*		inotify

Enable filesystem event based rescans - 
this is only available when MediaTomb was compiled with the inotify feature.

<autoscan use-inotify="auto">   =  persistent autoscan directories
Allowed values: "yes", "no", "auto"
"auto": means that availability of inotify support on the system will be detected automatically, 
it will then be used if available. 

   <directory location="/media" mode="timed" interval="3600"
       level="full" recursive="no" hidden-files="no"/>

   <directory location="/audio" mode="inotify" 
       recursive="yes" hidden-files="no"/>

*		level

Required for “timed” mode
Either "full" or "basic". Basic mode will only check if any files have been added or were deleted 
from the monitored directory, full mode will remember the last modification time and re add the 
media that has changed. Full mode might be useful when you want to monitor changes in the media, 
like id3 tags and alike.
