ok, so, i did as you said,
+really no change. it started
scanning an earlier alphabetically
library+seemed like it was taking
4-5 hours on just that library, but
it finally moved on.
then it returned to the library in
question, again. i went to grab
a fresh set of logs, but instead
of clicking ‘setting’ i accidentally
clicked ‘status’ which appeared to
be giving me realtime scanning
details. every minute, it would
scan the same series of files,
(actually, many times per minute),
+kind of describing my infinite
scan loop, but from another angle.
i started digging into that folder,
+sure enough, somehow the media
file was a symlink to its containing folder.
thus, the infinite loop.
no idea how that got created.
anyway, deleting that killed that
loop (anyway). but as i type this,
the library in question is still (seemingly)
taking quite a while. +then there’s the
5 hours on the previous library.
so, i’ll try to keep my eyes on “status”
to help get to the bottom of this.
right now, status is showing:
“opened connection to [server], listening for events.”
+has been like that for almost 10 minutes.
so, i guess i’ll have to wait 'til it shows
a bit more detail.
will keep this posted.
quick edit/update:
i quit/restarted the server. i got this under status:
```10:11pm connection to [server] closed.
```9:58pm scanning s… (year) nr
```9:58pm scanning b… (year) r
```9:58pm scanning t… (year)
```9:58pm scanning i… (year) pg-13
```9:58pm scanning b… (year) pg
```9:58pm scanning b… (2009) r
```9:58pm scanning b… (year) pg-13
so, nothing for roughly 13 minutes while
the scan loop persisted.
