Hi

I use the Rescan Music Libray plugin to rescan nightly and pick up the
previous day's changes.
But next day I sometimes see the dreaded "Empty" on browsing My Music
and discover that my library has been cleared due to an issue with my
server share not being available at that rescan time. :-(

The issue could be that the Windows server was unavailable for some
reason or that the share mount from LMS on PCP has failed and not
recovered (this seems be a recurring frustrating issue with Samba). The
impact is that I have to wait for a couple of hours while the library is
rescanned. :-(

So I guess one option is to change the scan type to be "Look for new and
changed media files" but I've not been able to find a description of
exactly what "new and changed media" means. However I have seen that
this scan method often has issues with (not) scanning changed tags which
is quite often true.

Otherwise it'd be really handy if the "Clear and rescan" could do some
form of elementary check to see that the library is accessible before it
deletes everything.
Or is there another way or recovering the previous library database?
