library not refreshing under linux

I recently converted over to hosting serviio on linux and everything is working great except on small bug.
For some reason my library is not automatically refreshing when new items are added.
If I got to the console and do a force refresh, it picks up new items without issue. However it will not pick up new items automatically like it did when i was using windows. Do I have to create a cron job or something to refresh on a regular basis?

Re: library not refreshing under linux

Forgot to mention I am on 1.8, I was also experiencing this bug under the 1.7 build.

Re: library not refreshing under linux

There is a new function in 1.8 that will likely resolve the issue. Earlier versions of Serviio had to make this work via editing a startup file, but now you can trigger polling from the console.

In the console, go to your shared folders and open one for editing. Find the checkbox labeled "Use the poller mechanism for monitoring this folder" and check it, then click OK. Do the same to any other shared folders that aren't refreshing. Finally, remember to click Save at the bottom of the page after making the changes. Your folders should now be refreshed as necessary.
