Hi,
I did a quick search in the forum but didn't find anything related but if someone has already reported this, sorry.![Smile]( "Smile")
I have a QNAP NAS which is added via smb as a video source for my movies. I have enabled library scanning at startup and if the NAS is connected everything is fine and fast. However if it's not connected, the scanning takes hours because obviously XBMC is trying to reach every folder on that source, each with a timeout of 40 seconds... if you have hundrets of movies, you can imaging how long it lasts to finish scanning. I wonder why XBMC doens't skip everything because it skips the parent directory with all movies
but then processes every subdirectory
This happens on OS X as well as on OpenELEC and I have this problem for months now. Is there a configuration problem on my side or does this need a fix?
Thanks
