I have found it! Look at the following lines from rb-metadata-dbus-
service.c:
#define ATTENTION_SPAN 30
...
electromagnetic_shotgun (gpointer data)
{
ServiceData *c = (ServiceData *)data;
GTime now = time(NULL);
int idle = now - c->last_active;
/* quit if we haven't done anything for a while */
if (idle > ATTENTION_SPAN) {
rb_debug ("shutting down (%ds idle)", idle);
g_main_loop_quit (c->loop);
}
return TRUE;
}
...
if (!svc.external)
g_timeout_add_seconds (ATTENTION_SPAN / 2, (GSourceFunc)
electromagnetic_shotgun, &svc);
No wonder all lengthy operations are cut off after 15 seconds!
Another observation: It seems that metadata-change operations are
quicker and thus less error-prone when only a small collection is
loaded. This suggests that the metadata-change background operation is
hindered by Rhythmbox rescanning the collection while the operation is
in progress.
