Nothing revolutionary, it was fun learning Go and scratching an itch.

Cool project, looks like it's more geared towards remote sync and could be used for more than a DVR.

Just curious, why doesn't inotify work? (Because the directory is SSHFS-mounted, right?) Been experimenting with inotify lately which is why I ask.

Yes. I was surprised I couldn't find any network file systems that could notify the client of changes.

I just run Plex Media Server and set it up to rescan whenever it detects changes to the folder. Then I can use any of their clients to stream the content on my network.

Mine is on the Mac but they do have a beta client for linux.
