File backend
------------
The :ref:`Mopidy-File <ext-file>` backend is new bundled backend. It is similar
to Mopidy-Local since it works with local files, but it differs in a few key
ways:
- Mopidy-File lets you browse your media files by their file hierarchy.
- It supports multiple media directories, all exposed under the "Files"
directory when you browse your library with e.g. an MPD client.
- There is no index of the media files, like the JSON or Sqlite files used by
Mopidy-Local. Thus no need to scan the music collection before starting
Mopidy. Everything is read from the file system when needed and changes to
the file system is thus immediately visible in Mopidy clients.
- Because there is no index, there is no support for search.
Our long term plan is to keep this very simple file backend in Mopidy, as it
has a well defined and limited scope, while splitting the more feature rich
Mopidy-Local extension out to an independent project. (Fixes: :issue:`1004`,
PR: :issue:`1207`)
