Every time I start XBMC it first loads the PVR data, then it starts doing a library update. But I haven't selected the menu option to update the library on startup!

Is anybody else experiencing this? Is it a bug, or is there some way for me to turn the update on startup off?

This happens on both of my Ubuntu 12.04 boxes and my Windows XP box.

you may want to check your settings:

---"Have XBMC scan for new items upon start up by going to Settings -> Video -> Library -> Update library on startup "

As I said, that option is NOT selected but it does it anyway. Hence my post.

Auto update addon? A debug log (wiki) would help.

I have included my debug log here: xbmc.log

There are the following lines in my log:

Why is this running? Yes, I am using the Addon XBMC Library Auto Update, but it is set to use an advanced timer and perform its updates at 3:30 am, which does run as scheduled. (Cron: 30 3 * * *)

I don't understand why it always runs on startup, as well, even though "Settings -> Video -> Library -> Update library on startup" is false.

Try disabling the auto-update add-on and restarting XBMC to see if it still does the auto-update at startup. If it doesn't, then it's an issue with the add-on rather than core XBMC.

Here's the new log with the Auto Updater disabled: xbmc.log

It's still running the update:

By the way, the reason I'm pursuing this isn't for this machine. This NUC is pretty fast and it only takes a minute or so to do the update, and while it's doing it, I can be doing other stuff. I have an older Windows machine that is practically unusable during the update, and that takes many minutes.

Try disabling the 1channel addon and see if that stops it

It looks like disabling 1channel stopped it! I'm guessing 1channel is calling update after it has processed subscriptions, to make sure they get added to the library. Good to know... I'll have to see if I can get 1channel to process subscriptions at a more convenient time.

Thanks guys!
