I suppose you could always try that again. > I recently upgraded to V7 and hoped this problem was solved, but now it > seems to be the main exe that's looping.

Scanning is't a continuous or automatic function - it must be initiated by the user. The 'Only rescan playlists' setting that you're trying to make stick is not a setting. It's an action. You select one of the rescan actions and click the 'Rescan' button. The exception to this is the first time you start the server, if the database is empty then a scan will be initiated. > 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.

Anything you play from your library must first be scanned and catalogued in the database. When you browse through your music folders the music files are scanned as you browse. > 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.

The browsing is obviously tripping it and starting a scan of some new/changed content. Apparently it's getting caught up by your circular shortcuts. The only thing I can think of is to hack the code and get the server not to follow shortcuts. I don't think this can be done through the configuration. It might make an interesting enhancment request. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46901 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
