Are the music files stored on a local hard drive or on a NAS or something similar where the network could cause performance problem when accessing the files ?
If you are using some of the other scanning modules, like MusicIP import/export or LastFM or Amarok import/export they might slow down the scanning, you should be able to see on the status in the Custom Scan settings page which scanners are actually running. LastFM scanning module is intentionally slowed down to comply with the LastFM license which only allows a specific number of calls per second. The same situation also exists with the Amazon scanning module which no longer is part of the latest Custom Scan distribution due to Amazon API changes. The info level logging intentionally doesn't long much during the scanning, it just logs stuff when the scanner changes phase, for example when it does the refresh, delete old data and similar stuff. The reason is to avoid huge log files, if you want more logging and want to see what's going on, you can temporarily enable debug level logging on "plugin.customscan" and look in the log files, you should then be able to see if it's scanning tracks or doing something else. Note that debug level logging will result in large log files, so just have it enabled during a short time. You can change the logging while it's scanning, you don't have to interrupt the scanning for it to take effect. vagskal;563500 Wrote: > > There must be something wrong.

Although, it feels like this should result in higher CPU usage than 1-2%.
