real time monitoring - yes vs auto


Recommended Posts

I'm confused as to why there is a "yes" option and an "auto" option. What is the difference between these 2 options in Windows? And can I suggest clarifying the difference in the UI?

No one knows the difference I guess.  :huh:

I would suspect that Auto makes sure it doesn't try to do real-time monitoring on filesystems that don't support it. Such as Linux powered NAS systems.

But in that scenario what would be the difference if the user chose "yes". Emby would crash and burn?  ;) It just seems like the two must be functionally equivalent. If it's a file system that doesn't support it, why would Emby even try? Seems like the options should be either auto+no or yes+no, rather than auto+yes+no. Regardless though, it's confusing as is so if the options are going to remain as is, the UI needs to provide clarification.

I don't disagree the need for better clarification.
