I recently switched my server from my NAS back to my Windows Vista Server (Q6600/8GB) for performance reasons. The NAS version was fine, but very slow doing searches etc.
I installed 7.8 over the old server version and it seems to work fine. Much much quicker. I've got about 44,000 tracks on a USB drive off the server, and the initial scan takes about 2 hours IIRC and everything seems fine.. The frustrating part is that re-scans for new and changed media files never finishes. This means changes never occur and I don't want to do a full rescan every night.
The only entries I can find are in the server.log and it just says it's starting the rescan of files/directories. The scanner.log is empty (c:/programdata/squeezebox).
I've just kicked off a block level scandisk of the harddrive but had seen mention that cache.db and artwork.db can be an issue. Is it worth deleting these and rescanning?
I've removed all non-needed plugins.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks
Byron
