Hi there,

I have subtitles for every movie of mine, ripped from DVD in .idx/.rar pairs. When doing a library update (which takes around an hour for me), it seems to be scanning each .RAR file looking for a movie, effectively doubling the time it takes for my library updates to occur.

Example from debug log:

Code:

Is there any way to disable this scan, but maintain the scan for subtitles? Or do you recommend any other way of speeding up my library updates?

Thanks in advance.

UPDATE:

Apologies, I should've looked at the AdvancedSettings section on the Wiki a little clearer. I've now since disabled .rar as a movie extension and this works perfectly, speeding up my library updates by about 50%.

However, it still seems that some items are stalling slightly and showing "as not in database" despite being in the library. Any reason why this occurs?
