I have a FE installed on the BE - it's an all-in-one box with 2 PVR-150 
tuners. This is located in my basement, and directly attached to a 32" 
CRT tv. Upstairs, I have a 40" LCD and stream everything, 1st, was with 
XBMC - which just had it's own DB/scappers - and pulled everything 
through SMB just fine. Now, I'm using an xbox 360 (1080p is so much 
nicer) - but I can't just throw a new movie into the view folder without 
having to go downstairs, and run the Video Updater to scan the 
filesystem for new files.

Is there no way to do this from the command line?

I like the idea of "find_meta.py" - but really, I don't care about 
scapping the data - I just want the file presented through the UPnP 
server right away..

Something I can tweak in the db?
