I've run the custom scan for LastFM in an effort to get some artwork.
After the scan is completed, my folder is populated with a bunch of jpg
files for the various artists in my library. But the majority of the
files are corrupt/not complete. Has this happened to anyone else?
I've run the sca
Just tried the plugin CustomScan-2.0.beta05 and I have the exact same
issue using the following setup:

Does it help if you goto "SqueezeCenter Settings/Network" and raise the
"Radio Station Timeout" parameter to a higher value and perform a new
rescan with Custom Scan ?
By the way, I've moved my issue tracker to the Google Code project, the
old one is no longer used. The Google Code project can be

Yep. Didnt work. I increased the timeout from Default 5 to 60 secs.
Same result. And as mattias mentioned, it seemed to connect fine the
first time with 5 sec setting. I could actually see my artwork
directory populated as the files were downloaded.

I'll try to get some time to verify it in my own setup.
Are you playing music or using SqueezeCenter in some other way while
the scanning is done ?

Nope. I learned my lesson the hardway while listening to music and
doing an Amazon scan - sqzctr crashed.

I can't reproduce this in my own setup.

Same result here.

Didnt even think to take a look. Will do so.
So how did you fix your problem/issue? Or did it just not
continue/happen again?

Do you mean that more images for the same artists are downloaded?

Erland, thanks for your reply and explanation of how the Scan works. I
will await your testing on a windows setup. In the meantime - I will
probably continue to try periodic scans to see if anything improves.
Thanks again.

If it's just downloading album art that's causing the problem, why not
try Album Art Aggregator? It'll download artwork very quickly from
Amazon, and you can just scan down them to review and you're done. You
can also choose which country Amazon you want - useful for avoiding US
covers (for me!)
Is this a plug-in? I seem to recall seeing that (Album Art Aggregator)
somewhere on these forums. What is it and where do I get it. :)

I don't get any duplicate files but for every time I start custom scan
manually more files are added. my system is a 2Ghz P4..not high end but
70% cpu seems a bit to much. I don't get 70% cpu every time I scan
either. Just the scans that "hang" or seem to never end.
In my server.log I found this
I want to let you know that I experience the same problem. I'm running
Vista Ultimate and don't play music while scanning. CPU usage is fairly
high and the scanning proces does not seem to stop. At least that is
what the server pages claim. Also, I did not see a drop in CPU usage
after donloading

not in windows explorer?
