Describe the issue

When the library is on a bind type mount (e.g. on some folder on the Windows host), the library watcher receives no notifications when changes happen in the library. I am pretty sure this is a known issue, and that it's probably related to this old WSL issue, but I have not found any open issue tracking it, so I'm opening this one.

I think it would be good to at least add some FAQ item regarding this (if, of course, this not just my issue), and possibly recommendation for workarounds.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Map a library to some bind-type mount (e.g. F:\Audiobooks), with Watcher enabled.
  2. Add/remove files from that folder in Windows

Expected: Watcher catching these changes, and updating library.
Actual: Watcher not receiving any notifications, and library not updated.

Audiobookshelf version

2.4.4

How are you running audiobookshelf?

I'm not sure if there is an actual resolution to this but the API endpoint you added is available in v2.5.0
