So I've had a closer look at this tonight. When you look in iTunes, it
has various Default menus/playlists that generate playlists for LMS when
scanned (many of these have hundreds and thousands of songs, do
importing is unecessary):
- Recently Added
- Artists
- Albums
- Songs
- Genres
- Music Videos
- Downloaded
- Smart Playlists
- Purchased
- Audiobooks
- Internet Songs
Also, I have many of my own music and artist playlists nested within
folders (such as 'All Music by Year' and many variations). Each of the
main folders their nested within also generates its own LMS playlist
containing every track present in the various playlists the folder
contains - again not needed in the LMS playlist scans.
I've expanded my list of 'Ignored Playlists' to a total of 84.
Interestingly, the iTunes import process seems to scan in all of them,
showing a total of 672 during and after scanning, but it must remove the
'Ignored' list either during or following the iTunes playlist stage of
the scan, as LMS lists around 580 post-scan, and I've confirmed it's
ignoring the correct ones now. I think this, combined with turning off
the Build full text search plugin has now drastically improved my 'new
and changed' rescan running times:
*LMS 7.9 (on Synology DS218+ Package Centre) 'New and changed' rescan* -
down to 8:41:
34810
*LMS 8.1 (on Synology DS218+ Docker Container) 'New and changed' rescan*
- down to just 8:21:
34811
Here's how fast I've now got the 'Clear and rescan everything' scans
with more ignored playlists and Build full text search disabled
(currently carrying out the clear and rescan in 7.9)...
*LMS 8.1 (on Synology DS218+ Docker Container) 'New and changed' rescan*
- now taking a modest 32:50:
34812
Very pleased with getting the scan times for such a massive library and
high number of playlists, but it doesn't answer the question of what
effect this has had on carrying out the same scan with Build full text
search list turned on. I'll will re-enable this plugin in both
instances over the next couple of days to see if ignoring several
thousands of tracks worth of iTunes playlists has sped these rescans up
at all and report back.
Cheers
