I have Logitech Media Server 7.7.2 - r33893 running, and it is scanning a whole bunch of extra directories beyond what I want it to do.  I have specified one directory as my media folder:  C:\Users\Owner\Music

However, when it scans, it is looking in a bunch of places outside that directory, taking forever and picking up a bunch of files that I don't want it to do.  To wit, some examples:

Scanning new music files: C:\Users\Owner\Videos  (25 of 25)   Complete  00:00:00

Discovering files/directories: C:\Users\Owner\Desktop  (74 of 74)   Complete  00:00:01

Discovering files/directories: C:\Users\Owner\Downloads  (3 of 3)   Complete  00:00:00

Discovering files/directories: C:\Program Files (x86)\Corel\CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5\PHOTO-PAINT\Samples  (1 of 1)   Complete  00:00:00

Discovering files/directories: C:\Program Files (x86)\Corel\CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5\Draw\Samples  (1 of 1)   Complete  00:00:00

Discovering files/directories: C:\Users\Owner\Pictures\Isabella  (13 of 13)   Complete  00:00:00

Discovering files/directories: C:\Users\Owner\Music\Music  (11967 of 11967)   Complete 

How can I get this obstreperous software to behave and confine itself to the directory I specify?  I am no longer "using iTunes", although I allow iTunes to monitor the directory C:\Users\Owner\Music I specify.  Any help out there?

Try turning off UPnP in LMS > Settings > Advanced > Network > UPnP

Also see what media folders LMS is attempting to scan in LMS > Settings > Basic

The only media folder assigned is C:\Users\Owner\Music on LMS > Settings > Basic.  Clearly that instruction is being ignored, if you see the directories that it is scanning from my first post.

Also, UPnP Client was disabled under Settings > Advanced > Network.  Also, iTunes is turned off.

The other odd and infuriating behavior is that I have it set to scan once day at 1:00 AM under Settings > Advanced > Rescan Music Library, yet there seems never to be a time that it is not scanning, 24/7/365.

John H., I seem to be having a similar problem in that once I initiate a scan(one folder or All) I get a message "Media Folders unavailable while scanning." I too have instructed LMS to scan once/day at a specific time but it seems to be scanning continuously. The only work-around I have found is aborting the scan in Web Based Interface>Advanced Settings>information>Player Information>ABORT SCAN. Once I take this action, all my media folders & files become available and I am able to play them. This problem began happening after my SB-Touch was updated to Version 7.7.2 r9663.

Unfortunately, once I make a change with my media folders & rescan, I am confronted with the same problem again. It's very frustrating...here's hoping Logitech is working on a solution...maybe squeezeit can help.
