My music folders have lots of shortcuts, created for manual use. These have triggered CPU-bound scanning loops when I was using V6 on my SB3, but I managed to disable the scanning with V6. I can't remember exactly what I did to achieve that; I may have just renamed the scanner exe.
I recently upgraded to V7 and hoped this problem was solved, but now it seems to be the main exe that's looping. There still seems to be no ability to disable scanning. There is an option to scan playlists only, but that option doesn't stick for some reason. I just want to be able to follow the Music Folder menu entry in my SB to my music folders; to browse through folder shortcuts, and select what I want to play. That's all I require. No indexing and cataloguing or other automation needed. If SqueezeCenter detects changes since I last browsed (which seems to be daily), it will go into a CPU-bound loop with no HDD activity. I have to terminate SC in Windows Task Manager, and then restart SC. Then I can browse with no problem until SC next decides it needs to scan. I'm surprised that the server software has reach V7 without some means to disable this troublesome scanning. I don't require it to be smart enough to avoid shortcut loops, though that would be very useful; I just want an option to turn the scanning off, allowing me to browse my music folders in my Squeezebox and play the music. Is there some hack of a configuration file, or a command line option that I can use to achieve this?
