I still get instant crashes when running a new & changed scan. The
initial scan seems to complete OK. After crashing and restarting the
server, it still thinks ot's scanning.

IMO, the gyrations necessary to get from the default configuration
(fresh install or coming from 7.6) to a music-only configuration are
excessive. This is going to be a rude upgrade for Squeezebox users when
scanning slows (or crashes) because of all the unwanted media scanning.

* Do not add some arbitrary best-guess video directory to the already
defined audio directory as a second media directory. On my Windows
server this is the Administrator's 'My Videos'. Why? The admin is
certainly not going to own any videos on a server.

* When migrating the audio directory, it should automatically be added
to the new ignoreInImageScan and ignoreInVideoScan prefs.

In other words, when migrating from a earlier configuration (just check
if audiodir is defined) the resulting server should be music-only and
library scanning should be largely unchanged. If installing fresh, then
you can make it a 'media' server and let users redefine the
configuration as needed.
