FreshDog 8 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I personally don't have this issue as I have one movie per folder, but perhaps it is affecting many people. Actually you (and everybody else) also have this issue. In your case It's just less notable as in my case. In your case every movie gets scanned twice. Once through the regular folder scan and one more time through the scan of the movie itself (because the movie's parent is the same folder). Therefore in your case the overall rescan time is about twice as long as it needs to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenkethBoy 2066 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I have tested this also and longer library scans with movies all in one directory do significantly increase the time taken by orders of magnitude so the issue @@FreshDog has highlighted is likely one of the reasons why slow scans are reported quite often if unnecessary double scans are taking place then it needs to be fixed also If there are other issues Luke has alluded to then those need to be fixed as well Its been going on too long and needs a resolution before we move to new features 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBers 6882 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 OK, perhaps it's not as evident with my libraries as it is with yours Still, it needs fixing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last ran a minute ago, taking 1 minute and 45 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy2Play 8882 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 And you have all of your movies in one folder? No they are movie per folder. I was just commenting on FreshDog's post how with that structure we should be experience this double scan scenario. Sure 52 second 16TB scans would sound really good.

PenkethBoy 2066 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 lol - 16TB is meaningless its the number of items of media that need to be scanned that matters - 40GB 4k video file has the same effect as a 3GB 1080p video file for the same movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So your library might be a good test case for @@FreshDog's observations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
