Much like forum user Richard Boyce 'asked about in 2009' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?72472-Scanner-looping&p=496622&viewfull=1#post496622), my media library has gobs of Windows folder shortcuts which are causing my scanning process to enter a loop, chasing the same shortcuts and scanning the same folders over and over. This is in both 7.7.5 and a 7.9.0 build I downloaded today.
Unlike his situation, it is not a matter of folder contents being modified after a successful scan. I can't even get to a point where the whole library has been scanned. I cleaned the cache and chose "Clear library and rescan everything" from the control panel, but it still gets caught in the loop and I have to abort. I looked and could not find if a bug report was ever filed. I only found one from two years later, '16990' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16990), which was closed as a "works for me". Developer andyg said in that old thread that "There is already some code to deal with loops of shortcuts/symlinks". But it's not working even with the most minimal test case I could think of: create two folders, each containing a symlink to the other, and scan the parent folder. Should I file a new bug report for this? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mjb2016's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66432 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106698 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
