I am very surprised by what you are saying there. Music scan is already very problematic with SBS and LMS and Logitech has a lot of problems to figure out those bugs. If I understand correctly, you are saying that first version of LMS will scan for music, videos and images without any option to enabled or disable each. In my opinion, if were in charge of developping that, especially with limited resources, I would obviously put 3 global flags in prefs, in order to be able to track music related scan bugs, images related scan bugs and videos related scan bugs. This is not a LMS options, it is scan option, like folders are scan options. Reliability and performance of scan is already a weak point of SBS, even in 7.6 How can Logitech have any hope to improve this, if everything is forced to be more automatic ? Autorescan is the perfect illustration. Very few users actually ask this feature, and it is a complete failure whenever you have no option to disable it (e.g. TinySBS) -- nicolas75 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nicolas75's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15823 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86628 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
