Unfortunately there was 0 information here. Do you know if you have a file that has invalid encoding and could cause this? I think it's a xbmc bug, it should basically never happen. I have added the workaround though (ignoring. as it's not important that the file name is completely correct). Could you test master just to be sure there aren't anything else?

Hello,
Thanks for the link. I tried it and XBMC scanning is back !
If you feel curious about the file name that triggered the error, do you think you could do something like "decode filename and if error, print filename in log and decode with ignore option". (I can't code in Python as you've guessed reading this ). And I could relaunch the test. But that's only if you want to know as the workaround is perfectly working.
And also, could you tell me what is the expected behavior of watchdog ? If I add an album in my music folder, I see (now ) watchdog being triggered, and it scans the entire music folder (even if only one album was added) which takes approximately 5 minutes. Is that expected or should I deduce something "touches" my folders and make watchdog scan everything even if not needed ?

Thanks a lot for your help and BRAVO for your very useful work !
