Oh, OK.
In the new db, I actually added the folder first - not to scan folders, but a regular video folder. That was when it added about 100 videos and a lot of images. Then I added that same folder to the scan folders and rescanned.
I also tried moving a portion of the files to another external drive and import them into a new db. That one was successful - meaning it added all of the copied files to the db.
So I guess there is something on the first drive that seems to abort the scan at some point. My guess is that there is possibly a corrupted file or files causing this - but it's not at the file system level, rather internally in the video file that the program does not understand properly - as there is nothing in the windows event viewer at the time of scanning.
Unfortunately I do not have a large enough second drive to copy all of the content elsewhere, so I am not sure how to troubleshoot this further. Maybe some error logging in the app would help.
Rescan for videos and pictures does not add new items to db
I just noticed this thread. I thought I was the only one with this scanning for new files issue. I first noticed it after installing version 11.3.0.1.
I normally have about 2000 video files ignored when I do a scan for new videos. Now I get right around 90 every time, but it's always different.
If I turn off "rescan subfolders recursively" it's always exactly 151 files ignored (which is the correct number of video files in the root folder).
It does seem to work correctly if I remove the root folder from the scan and manually add all of the subfolders.
All files are on a Hard Drive, no USB.
I ended up not adding anything new to that folder anymore and creating a new one, which has been working.
I just assumed I had too many files in one folder.
