The way Mediascanner currently gets to know about mounted drives is a
bit hacky as it listens to inotify events in that directory. Is there a
more reliable way of getting mount/unmount events from the system? Maybe
over dbus?

Title:
  mediascanner fails to watch removable devices if /media/$USER doesn't
  exist when starting

Status in “mediascanner2” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  If the system has never mounted a removable device then /media/$USER
  does not exist which causes mediascanner to fail it's watch with this
  error:

  Mount directory does not exist

  if something is mounted after this, then it just doesn't notice it.

  starting mediascanner after /media/$USER is created allows everything
  to work.
