Library Import Methods Changes from 2.1.x to 2.2.x (TL;DR included)

    I've noticed some differences in how the library manager has been functioning and was looking for some clarification.

    my airtime media dir is:

    /srv/airtime/stor

    Because I prefer to upload via sFTP instead of the web interface, and because I like to keep my files separate from the rest of the users I put them here:

    /srv/airtime/stor/ryan

    Prior to 2.2.x the media monitor would create library entries for the files, now it does not.

    I decided to move the files to /srv/airtime/ryan and set that as a separate watched directory which did work for media monitors library cataloging.

    This led me to a new problem. new library entries are no longer showing metadata from certain fields. In airtime's library viewer <LABEL> tags come from the <PUBLISHER> field (why not from <LABEL>? I don't know)

    The way I found this out was (with 2.1.x) I edited a file's metadata from the airtime library viewer and then download the MP3 (wav ogg etc) and inspect the metadata to find it was added to a field called <PUBLISHER>.

    Since the installation of 2.2.x adding metadata to a file via the library viewer interface does not modify the file so I cannot figure out where the new metadata is stored to find a workaround other than individually right clicking each file in the library viewer (db perhaps?)

    TL;DR

    1. Are directories inside the main import folder (/srv/airtime/stor) no longer to be scanned?

    2. Why isn't importing getting all my metadata? (specifically <LABEL> from <PUBLISHER> [I also have the same tags in the <LABEL> field JIC])
