How to troubleshoot scanning?

[yocky]

I'm running Windows 7 and LMS 7.7.0 - r33614

More often than not my scheduled rescan for new music (and any random scans I might start) fail to complete. If I clear and rescan all is fine, but I don't want to do that every time. I've turned on debugging but the scanner log shows nothing on a new music scan and the server log isn't shedding much light on the matter...not that I know what I'm looking for.

I was going to post my server log but the forum software is rejecting it because it thinks I'm trying to post a bunch of smilies....

I'd rather solve this on my present version of LMS before upgrading if possible. What should I be looking for in the logs, and what else should I try?

Best way to post logs is to zip up the log file (or a fragment of it) and attach the file to a forum post. As zip compresses the log file you can attach a file with many more log entries than if you "cut'n'paste" directly into a post

Ok. Thanks. I've attached the last chunk of my server log.

The log implies that scan aborted during music import so you should enable logging on scan.import to see if it gives more details.

I did enable logging on all 4 of the scan options including scan.import.....

Oh well. Gave up and installed 7.7.2, seems to work now.
