Sure, but the frontend that are already running don't. I just turn off the 
Screen and the frontend just stays at the last watched episode until I 
continue. And without exiting the videolibrary, this frontend doesn't notice 
any changes. Same apllies to watched-state which isn't a problem for me, as I 
use different rooms for different series (vintage cartoons while ironing and 
recent series in the living room).

I mostly scan for changes in my office, as it's easier to fix wrong metadata and 
images with keyboard and mouse, but the frontend in the livingroom just 
doesn't notice this.
