Issues with the initial scan stalling (1 Viewer)

[PatM]

Ok, I really am having issues with the initial scan stalling. It always stops at 4869/5985. I checked the last movie being scanned and didn't see anything weird so I moved that directory off the NAS and tried again. It stalled at the same numbers above but the last entry was now the second to last one in the previous log. I figure its probably trying to read a new directory and the name is crashing the scanner so it doesn't show up in the log. Is there a way to figure out which directory it was trying to look at?

I guess I could look at the log and figure out which dirs it's already looked at and check those not yet listed to see if I see anything strange?

Edit: I've tried sorting the directory display a few ways but nothing matches the order shown in the log so i can't guess what was being looked at next

Edit of Edit!
I had a thought and used a command prompt to "dir" the directory and the filenames were in the same order as the log (have to use pushd to "cd" to a UNC path I discovered). THe last file in the log is also the last file in the dir list and the directory it is in is the last dir listed in the path I gave MP scanner. It appears that it's actually finished scanning everything and just stuck.

:Last night I let this run and the log was gigantic but it didn't get any further than above - just had scads of the same error message.
Anyway, here's the last bit of a log

Ok, I really am having issues with the initial scan stalling.

Did you setup write permission on the NAS for the share/path that MovPic is using?

 

[PatM]

Home from work finally. Yes, its RW for everyone including guest and the NAS is using simple permissions so when I set the permissions on the share it applies to everything in it.

I had a thought, I'm going to try using the windows share drive letter instead of the UNC path. Perhaps there's a problem like with "cd" which can't process UNC paths.

 

[PatM]

Using the mapped drive letter made no difference. I'm thinking maybe 5k+ files at once is too much so I'm importing one subdir at a time (not as bad as it might seem - I already sorted by main genre so its 20 or so dirs.)

The last dir/files in the previous log imported just fine.
