It was version 0.8.1 but still I tried to uninstall WatchDog yesterday, restarted XBMC and re-added WatchDog from settings - add-ons in XBMC. So now everything should at least be done the correct way.

I am still seeing same behavior this morning:
I added several various episodes in \\HS\SERIES\<show>\<season.XX>\<new.episode.folder> and got no reaction
I added a new season folder in \\HS\SERIES\<show>\<new.season.folder> and WatchDog started scanning for new items
I then added 3 more episodes in \\HS\SERIES\<show>\<season.XX>\<new.episode.folder> on various shows and got no reaction again

But won't this be way more time-consuming, if all my sources are scanned completely each time I add something in one of the sources? What exactly changes in KODI/v14 that will sort this out ? Will I be able to by-pass this problem if I place all my episodes in \\HS\SERIES\<show> folder, instead of using dedicated 'season.xx' folders underneath \\HS\SERIES\<show> ? If so I think I would rather do so to avoid more resources being dragged on the scanning (hence my question below, my box is running on very high CPU usage already)

Basically those of us using a Windows based storage system is currently forced to run complete version of XBMC to update mySQL library, which drags much more system resources than needed and is tricky to maintain. Having a stand-alone library updater similar to WatchDog would benefit everyone using a Windows based system for storage only. Such a tool is already available on various NAS boxes.

I don't have any interest in this myself, but if you find someone who is, it should be perfectly doable to modify watchdog to run standalone. It's "only" a matter of removing the xbmc specific parts. Most of it is already independent of xbmc and cross platform. What existing non-windows tools are you talking about btw? Just curious

[NEGATIVE SQUARED LATIN CAPITAL LETTER B]0.9.0beta1[/B] zip
- added option for removing video in background without cleaning entire library (experimental)
- added clean/scan on startup option
- added option for showing status dialog on startup for debugging purposes
- improved skipping of non-media files, reducing number of library scans needed
- will now detect and ignore remote shares going off-line
- detection of of OS mounted network file systems now works on busybox systems (OpenElec)
- replaced different depth methods with recursive/non-recursive option
- other minor improvements and fixes

---

same, but automatically when needed. The plan is to move away from using the library cleanup, as you can already test in v0.9.0beta1.

The current release v0.7.7 always fails to load causing an "service.py" script error. Earlier version had worked until I had to do a clean install of my XIOS and now I can't ROLL BACK.

Or would it be beneficial to place the shared folder on root of the harddrive? I assume it doesn't matter if the shared folder is deep down in a folder structure on the harddrive, as XBMC/Watchdog only accesses \\<server>\<share> ?
