However, in the meantime I had added ~200 releases to the collection. After syncing those changes over to the squeezebox server, I tried triggering another "Updates only" scan. While the Web-UI claimed a scan was running, I did not get to see anything in the console (watch -n1 "ps aux |grep -i sca

Hi there, just for the record: the scan finished eventually. Afterwards the "Empty" music folder issue resolved itself without further intervention: the entire structure of subfolders simply showed up in the Web-UI. However, in the meantime I had added ~200 releases to the collection. After syn
