I'm running LSBeat on a virtual machine for testing. I can see that it ships the correct information for whatever is in the folder structure when i kick off the beat, but if i edit the folders or add new files within it, the beat doesnt seem to be shipping them. The beat is set to run every 1s.

any help or advice is appreciated!

You may need to ask the author of this beat directly.
