Is there any add-on out there that can have XBMC watch my media folders and automatically update my library when a new file is added? I'm using the Mac version, but I don't think that really matters for add-ons if I understand correctly. I just recently switched over from Plex and am COMPLETELY blown away with how much XBMC can do, especially the new Eden beta.

I think there is one around in the repositories, that can make scheduled backgroung scrapping - just search for xbmc repositories / pugins on google or check the wiki for repository links.

Ah yes, I've seen this one. I was looking for more of an automatic one based on changes made to any of the folders that contain media, rather than simply a timer. Do you know if anything like that exists?

You need something that scanns all the drives in a loop. It creates a lot of unnecessary traffic. Usually you know when you add content.
So I prefer to do it manually. I use Ember Media Manager to download all stuff and create the nfo file automatically for larger changes to the database. There you can correct all scan errors imediately.

I use EventGhost to watch directories and it's XBMC plugin to run a scan when they change.
