I should note disabling the extensions / activating Library Watcher failed for me... however, I noticed a quirk with importing that might be linked to the problem. The first time I tried to import I was attempting to import the `~/Music` directory directly. This caused a crash. The second time, after restarting banshee, I attempted to import the `~/Music` directory implicitly (as in, it was displaying the contents of the directory in the import window, but no folder was selected when I pressed Import). This would produce the infinite scanning directories bug.
When I selected all my folders within the `~/Music` directory and pressed Import the import was performed successfully. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to banshee in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1533480 Title: banshee stops respondiing during media import Status in banshee package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Trying to import media to banshee in ubuntu 16.04 freezes banshee.
