So this is an issue I've had for forever, and just kinda dealt with as an annoyance, so decided I'd ask on the forums. I did some forum searching and unfortunately haven't found an answer to my question (or I'm just not searching the correct thing)
I have a system with Kodibuntu installed on it with the following source setup
My Comptuer is BIGDADDY, the wifes is SEXYBEAST, and I have a NAS called DROBO-FS (yeah yeah yeah.... quit giggling at the names)
The problem is, that although my system and the NAS are always on, the wife turns hers off when she's not using it. She doesn't have a lot of media on hers, so that's not a big deal really.
This issue is though, that when Kodi scans it's sources to find new content, it takes forever to complete and it pretty much won't play anything until the scan finishes. Even when I tell it to stop scanning, it takes a bit to complete.
A lot of the time I'll just turn hers on just so that it can complete the scan, and then turn the computer back off when the scan is completed...... but that's a pain in the.... neck.
