Library Not Automatically updating

Just moved from windows to Ubuntu 14 lts
Serviio Pro is running ok except the "Keep library automatically updated" files added to the storage location are never picked up unless serviio is restarted or the "Keep library automatically updated" check box is unticked and reticked again in the console.

The files are accessed via a cifs share
Any Idea, looking at the forums there seems to have been similar comments about remotely stored files.
If there is no fix is there a command which can be run to force the library update function WITHOUT restarting serviio
Thanks

Just been reading some more on the forums, and there is an old post about calling a REST API. Does that mean the update is triggered by the console which is not running on my headless linux box

The console is remote from a windows client ?

This problem has been noted for CIFS shares. See: http://wiki.serviio.org/doku.php?id=lib ... _mechanism (Forcing POLLER scanner) which will give you the means to overcome this (by forcing Serviio to poll your shared folders rather than use the automatic (iNotify based) polling).

ps. the REST API (http://www.serviio.org/component/conten ... sed/66-api) is a means to communicate to the Serviio server, and yes, you could use it to trigger a refresh... but the Polling Method should do the same thing.
pps. The console plays no part in the library update mechanism (other than to set your preferences).
