Just for reference, scanning my MythTV recordings directory on a samba share with about 843 recordings took totally 14 hours.
It probably took a bit longer because the MythTV recordings directory have a sub directory with soft links with user friendly name, so even do it isn't able to scan the soft links it might have affected the scanning time. I've unix_extensions turned off on the samba server so the soft links should be exposed as standard files over samba but for some reason that doesn't work with LMS. For the same reason it doesn't work to point the media folder directly to the soft link directory because then LMS doesn't find any recordings at all, I posted the following bug about this soft links issue: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17596 The scanner found 742 of the 843 recordings but there are no errors in the scanner.log, would be nice with some kind of error message when it isn't able to scan a mpg file which obviously is there. I shouldn't have to enable debug logging to find out which files it didn't succeed to scan and some kind of error why it failed to scan/detect them. I tried to start a new/changed rescan and that went very fast, unfortunately it didn't find the recordings that have been added after the full rescan, so it's still pretty useless. For reference, the 3500 track FLAC music library (also on a network share) on the same server takes about 2 minutes to scan and find all the files successfully. A MythTV recording directory is probably not the typical thing LMS is supposed to serve, I guess, especially not from a Linux server, so hopefully it works better for everyone else that have the typical video directory which LMS is supposed to handle, whatever that is. -- erland Erland Isaksson ('My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info)) (Developer of 'many plugins/applets' (http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/User:Erland).
