Thanks kidstypike for showing the relevant setting. I don't consider playlist files to be music files -- those which contain the actual audio -- so I reckon I never thought to click the little "i" information button next to that setting when I started snooping around after reading Mynb's tantalizing comment.
Apparently LMS considers .m3us and other ASCII playlist files to be music files and somehow gets stuck in them during scanning? Why is that on as default? Seems that most folk should not have to worry about where they put their playlists -- put the Beethoven piano sonatas playlist in the folder containing the tunes. It probably makes sense to somebody, but I don't get it. No disrespect to everyone who works on this, nor to the support group here, nor the actual software. The system works as advertised and there are so many hardware and software players available that I have one running on an Android tablet, one on a Linux netbook, and one on a Windows 10 laptop. Oh -- my iPhone, too. All work just fine. *Back to the OT* -- I am still getting Endless Scanning. It says it has scanned everything, but shows no results, and needs to be aborted. But not all the time. Earlier today I launched a manual Clear Library and Rescan and it terminated by itself in a few minutes . . . but had no results. The log indicated that it had been aborted. Wasn't me, honest. I then launched another scan, same settings, and it's plugging along. Will see if it terminates normally or hangs. 22418 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: Capture.PNG | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=22418| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JackElliott's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63479 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107191 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
