Continuous scanning of multimedia directories

[abel]

I did a search for this, but couldn't find the answer (or I just can't search )

I recently started using Sage (running trial, but decided to buy it since I like it). I'm still finetuning the installation.

I had added two multimedia directories, one for music and one for pictures. These directories are on the server across the network and are mapped to drives on the Sage TV PC.

When I was working on the server computer (no sage software installed there) I noticed that there was a lot of network traffic while there were no recordings active. I monitored the network traffic and it turned out that it was cycling through all the files in the multimedia directories and it seems to keep doing that. Does this ever stop? Or is it designed to do a continuous monitoring to check if files are changed/added?

I'd hate to flood the network with these requests (and load the disk array as well). For now I've removed the multimedia directories from the setup.

Thanks for any help.

PS. Lots of useful information in these forums.

I don't remember when this was added (I thought it was a recent beta) & I couldn't find a reference for it, but perhaps try setting this property:

seeker/periodically_scan_library=false

Maybe someone who has used it will comment...

Thanks, I'll give that a try.
