this time its faster but im far away from the 5 minutes
i guess it will take about 30-40min

4hours + for 150movies was just .... AAAAARGH

Does it work with Mapped network drives? I dont have visual studio installed on this machine so i cant check if filewatcher works on mapped network drives

I have tested it on mapped network drives, the file system watcher should work fine. Was there no exception in your log? For that error it should log the error message as well as the exception that was caught.

Something is definitely wrong.
It shouldn't take that long.
The scanner is fast it identifies all of my 270+ movies in a few minutes.
Most of them are matched correctly and after that when i match the others i believe it takes a few more minutes to download metada, coverarts and backdrops for the movies.

But 4 hours is way to much

It works perfectly fine.
I have all my movies on my file server and i access them from my HTPC using windows mapped network drives.
No problems at all and the scanner speed is fast as well.

I too have all my movies on a (win xp sp3) file server which my media pc (also xp sp3) has mapped to Z: drive.

all my movies are in individual folders, and when i try to scan z: nothing comes up, however if i scan z:/10000 BC i get a result instantly.

i put this down to the fact that i'm only running RC2 without any svn's if i'm wrong i hope the info helps.

My Server is Win2003 and my HTPC is WinXP SP3.

I have my map drive at M: and then as you said all movies on individual folders.

However all of my movies are identified.

Maybe try a different letter???

i just tried changing my drive to m, didn't work, restarted and re-tried just incase, still didn't work.

setting to m:/28 days later got an instant responce though.

Scanning the root of the drive usually causes you troubles with hidden+system "System Volume Information".
I recommed moving your file to something like z:\media\, and pointing plugin there, that will save you hassle in future.

That bug should be fixed and included in the latest release.

Do you think you guys could try reproducing the situation where it's not loading when you expect it to then save off your logs? You can post them in a new issue over on the issue tracker.
