But why do you have your log in your media source? I have to assume that people use their media sources for media, not for general purpose. I'm aware there are some downloading programs that don't behave nicely and thus making Watchdog get stuck in a loop, but Watchdog should not react on file modification, only when files are removed or deleted. So that it reacts on the log file sounds strange. Care to post the log so I can have a look? (in its entirety please)
I'll post up my log later this week, but essentially, this is how my setup is:
/home/userfolder/Movies
/home/userfolder/TV Shows
/home/userfolder/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log
I don't know if having my media shared out from within my userfolder is causing watchdog to scan every subfolder, including my xbmc temp folder as well. Also, it doesn't always do this. Sometimes it'll run fine, and other times it will get stuck scanning over and over again for new media.
