I understand, but theoretically after I deleted all the stuff in the userdata folder, the first scan should have taken a long time, but after things were rebuilt it should've been back to normal. I feel the constant delay, every time I open xbmc, which I feel, unless there is a weird time out issue (like it rebuilds for 1 minute then quits until its restarted again or til its complete), shouldn't STILL be happening. Also I would imagine there would be delays when searching the library if the local cache wasn't rebuilt fully, which I'm not really experiencing.
nokdim Wrote:login to phpmyadmin and drop the MyVideos75 and MyMusicXX db's and let it rebuild those again from scratch.
I would turn off scan on startup off until you get a good working library in the db and turn back on once your db is healthy and happy.
Good advice. I essentially already dropped the mysql db's and started from scratch once, and have since marked all the movies in my 1400 title collection that I've watched so I'm looking to avoid dropping the db completely again, but eventually that is something I'll try if other things aren't working. I will DEF turn off the scan on startup and see what that changes.
nokdim Wrote:cleanonupdate actually deletes stuff from the library that is no longer on disk so if yo delete shows/movies after you watch them it will remove from library saving it time on scan so it should help after the first scan.
I understand what cleanonupdate does and will def run it once, which should help on subsequent scans, but even if the library is clean it STILL takes time and would still add time to start up if it was added to update library on startup. But again running it once is a really good suggestion thanks.

Yeah I saw that constant failing of the .actors folders of random movies. Best I can think is that those folders were created after the permissions for the parent folders were set up and somehow didn't inherent the same permissions. I will double check tonight. How would I go about checking the mounts to see if they are ok? They are mounted just fine on the PC, and eventually work fine, but I agree this all strikes me as a weird permission thing or something.
P.S. I also found this thread (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=148833) which seems to focus on sharing an SMB share from NAS, but users there are reporting very similar issues to me. My scan isn't failing completely, like almost all of theirs, but still the issues are very similar...
