Any plans to keep the service available during scan?

You can start music playing before the scan starts, and it will continue to play while the scan is happening.

A rescan time of 2 hours for 400,000 files is longer than I would expect. Are these files on a HDD that is attached locally to the computer or NAS running MinimServer? If the files are on a network drive, the rescan time will be much longer.

Quote:2. I figured it out. watch on a different pc acts like a remote control (nice).
On the same host as server it will not work (seems logical)
3. I figured out a lot of settings. Not likely to change default.

All in all a great server. I hope Parallel scanning is available soon.

cheers,

I'm hoping to add support for incremental and/or parallel rescanning. This will require some internal redesign, so it's a fairly major piece of work.
