Manual (re)scan folders on external HD’s

Syrinx · June 6, 2020, 12:52pm

Every time Audirvana start, Audirvana begins synchronizing the connected HDD’s, although there are no new items added since previous startup.Very annoying, because playing music is frequently interrupted. Is it possible that we have choice between auto- and manual synchronize? When I add new music files now on a HD and want that Audirvana synchronize that HD, I have to close Audirvana and disconnect the other HD’s and then start Audirvana again. Next to that I have to click in the General preferences the synch knob next to the HD with the new added files. When synchronizing is done I have to connect again the disconnecties HD’s.
Very annoying indeed!

Hello @Syrinx,

Can you send me a copy of the “Debug Info”? You can get it in Audirvana Settings>General>Debug Info

Same problem Since I upgraded to latest version I can not get rid of AUTO sync and every time I reinsert the external SSD sync start consuming CPUs and creating annoying offline element duplicates that add to the current playlist - so hearing every track twice is really annoying.

Questions:

Is there a way to change to manual on monitored folders
Is there a way to avoid duplicates in either AUTO or Manual option?

Thank you
Zed

Hello @zmilova, do you have the settings “Rescan folders at each start” enabled under this view?

Antoine · June 10, 2020, 2:23pm

Bonjour @Syrinx, Avez-vous l’option de scan des dossiers à chaque démarrage d’activée dans les paramètres de bibliothèque d’Audirvana?

Syrinx · June 10, 2020, 2:51pm

Cher Damien,
Pas du tout, j’ai désactivé permanent ReScan deja longtemps
Merci bien, michel

zmilova · June 10, 2020, 3:29pm

Hi Damien,
Yes it has been turned off.

Hope you find a solution to this bug.
Personally I would love to have the option to only manually sync monitored folders.
Thank you

zmilova · June 10, 2020, 9:42pm

It seems that the duplicate problem could be related to “offline” update

Thank you

Antoine · June 11, 2020, 1:31pm

@Syrinx and @zmilova Can you make a screenshot of the scan in Audirvana you see here:

Secolo · June 11, 2020, 2:22pm

Bonjour à tous,
J’ai exactement les mêmes problèmes : 1. rescan à chaque redémarrage (avec l’option de rescan à chaque démarrage désactivée) et 2. duplication d’une multitude de morceaux.
Que faire pour éliminer ces deux désagréments non négligeables.
Merci d’avance.

Antoine · June 11, 2020, 2:25pm

Bonjour @Secolo, pouvez-vous faire une capture d’écran de la zone que j’ai indiqué dans le précédent message?

Syrinx · June 11, 2020, 2:59pm

Bonjour Damien,
You can see on the screenprint what is going on: Audirvana is scanning a folder that already many times has been rescand without any changes from me in that folder.
Merci beaucoup pour votre patience,

michel

Bonjour @Secolo, je parlais de ceci:

Secolo · June 12, 2020, 8:59am

Antoine · June 12, 2020, 1:21pm

Avez-vous des fichiers d’autres applications ou des fichiers provenant de iTunes à l’intérieur?

Antoine · June 12, 2020, 1:22pm

Avez-vous des fichiers d’autres applications ou des fichiers provenant de iTunes à l’intérieur?

Secolo · June 12, 2020, 4:37pm

Oui les fichiers figurant dans le dossier Music ont pour la plupart été générés en rippant des cds à l’aide de iTunes. Dans les trois autres dossiers, la plupart des fichiers sont des fichiers FLAC d’origine diverses, rippés pour certains à l’aide de XLD ou, pour d’autres, téléchargés de l’internet. Beaucoup de ces fichiers ont des métadonnées générées à l’aide de TAGR ou, dans le passé, à partir de aTunes.
Une précision peut-être intéressante : les deux disques durs 2 et 2" sont des clones régulièrement mis à jour à l’aide de SuperDuper de deux autres disques durs (DISCOTHÈQUE 1 et 1") connectés à mon ordinateur principal sur lequel tourne également Audivarna avec grosso modo le même problème de rescan sempiternel, mais en revanche sans le phénomène de duplication de nombreux fichiers.

Non, Audirvana ‘parle’ Directement avec les fiches sur les HDD’s qui sont connected par usb (hubs) avec le mac mini.
