+ <h1>Light Media Scanner</h1>
+ <p>
+ Lightweight media scanner meant to be used in not-so-powerful
+ devices, like embedded systems or old machines.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Provides an optimized way to recursively scan directories,
+ handling the parser in a child process, avoiding breaks of the
+ main process when parsers break (quite common with such bad libs
+ and tags).
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Parsers are plugins in the form of shared objects, so it's easy
+ to add new without having to recompiling the scanner.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The scanner will use SQLite3 to store file-mtime association,
+ avoiding parsing files that are already up-to-date. This SQLite
+ connection and the file id within the master table 'files' are
+ handled to plugins for relationship with other tables.
+ </p>
