Hi there,
just for the record: the scan finished eventually. Afterwards the "Empty" music folder issue resolved itself without further intervention: the entire structure of subfolders simply showed up in the Web-UI. However, in the meantime I had added ~200 releases to the collection. After syncing those changes over to the squeezebox server, I tried triggering another "Updates only" scan. While the Web-UI claimed a scan was running, I did not get to see anything in the console (watch -n1 "ps aux |grep -i scan"). Tried a few times and gave it some time in case there was some delay until a process would finally show up. Gave up after ~20 minutes when there was still no scanner process. Restarted the squeezeboxserver service, tried again and then it worked instantly. Seems the squeezeboxserver process itself was in a weird state after all. Perhaps that would also be the explanation for this "Empty" folder thing. Dunno it it's useful for anyone, but this is the crontab entry I eventually came up with after watching the process list: 0 3 * * 6 /usr/bin/perl /usr/libexec/squeezeboxserver-scanner --logdir=/var/log/squeezeboxserver --logconfig=/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/prefs/log.conf --priority=-15 --noimage --rescan --prefsdir=/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/prefs --novideo --debug formats.playlists=ERROR,scan.auto=DEBUG,formats.audio=ERROR,database.virtuallibraries=ERROR,database.info=ERROR,scan.scanner=ERROR,artwork=ERROR,scan.import=ERROR,scan=ERROR This example will automatically trigger an "Updates only" scan each Saturday night, 3 A.M.
