    For 1.5.1 we will use Serviio poller (optimised for only looking for the supported files, media + metadata) instead of the java 7 poller (on Mac and FreeBSD - basically whenever the default service is 'sun.nio.fs.PollingWatchService').

    In later versions we should switch to http://jnotify.sourceforge.net/index.html or wait for OSX/Linux JRE to implement native WachtService for OSX and BSD. Note that jnotify doesn't support BSD either (without extensions)
