So, in the absence of a better short term plan, I looked at the scanner log and simply removed the embedded artwork from the entries that seemed to choke the scanner.
I then performed a rescan for new and changed files, and the scan was at least able to complete. My long term plan is to find a music file scanner and remove all the corrupted files but at least for now, I can play the glitchy ones. ----------------------- Discovering files/directories: J: (235549 of 235549) Complete 00:02:31 Scanning changed files: J: (25 of 25) Complete 00:00:02 Discovering files/directories: K: (280089 of 280089) Complete 00:02:51 Removing deleted files: K: (20 of 20) Complete 00:00:08 Scanning new music files: K: (10 of 10) Complete 00:00:00 Scanning changed files: K: (23 of 23) Complete 00:00:02 Discovering files/directories: K:\V-Z\Various (1 of 1) Complete 00:00:00 Discovering playlists: C:\Users\user\Music\Playlists (1 of 1) Complete 00:00:00 Building full text index (7 of 7) Complete 00:01:20 Find updated coverart files (46441 of 46441) Complete 00:00:16 Pre-caching Artwork (31398 of 31398) Complete 00:12:21 Database Optimize (2 of 2) Complete 00:01:23 The server has finished scanning your media library.
