Or secondary option. Could the scan be called in more ways than just through the GUI? If the scan is fast enough to work during a GUI browsing session, surely it should be just as fast when doing a JSON browsing session or a UPnP browsing session (not sure if those are the same thing). It seems like a JSON call to the library should result in the same scanning task as a GUI call to the library.

edit: To be clear, I'm obviously not saying a JSON call does result in the same scanning right now. I'm saying that if we are happy with how a GUI call performs for the user, then wouldn't it make sense to try to alter JSON calls so they can do the same thing?
