Can't comment on that - though due to the low duo processing power i would not be surprised at that. Check all your logs to see if one particular album is causing the issue

But the fact remains that you will see no update until the index scan is complete. This is an intentional in 7.6 with to the move to sqlite for the database. Search the logitech forum for more info

By update you mean version 7.6? I do already see that...:

Maybe you missed the fact that 7.6.1 has been released?

Yeah I missed that ;)
But today I downloaded this update from the logitech site??

Anyway, I'll check how this one works, if it doesn't, I'll install 7.6.1.

we'll see if it works, i have squeezebox server running on a readynas duo, i have already tried using 7.6.0 a bunch of times, i removed/reinstalled a dozen times as well as ran the clean squeezebox database thingy. it's so annoying, it only showed one artist everytime... I really don't want to have to downgrade..

i have 7.6.1 installed now, the database is scanning through everything, so far no artists have populated and it's been an hour... i hope it will populate by the end otherwise ill have to downgrade, logitech will hopefully have a fix out soon...

I recommend all of you who are having issues with the latest releases of the SqueezeBox Server to do your experiments on a directory that contains only low number of music albmus.
I think it would make your life easier, because you will see in 1-2 minutes if the setup is working instead of 8-10-20 hours. Just create a subfolder in your Music share, drop some albums and set your SBS to that folder instead of your huge collection.

kllngtme: As I mentioned earlier, 7.6.0 is having a known issue of the scan so there is no point repeating the installation of 7.6.0 several times. 7.6.1 should be okay (at least for me it is fine)

Thanks for the tip! This works for me. Now I have 88 tracks in my library, and squeezebox server 7.6.0 has scanned 'all of them' in 5 secondes, according to the log. How do you think I can add the rest of my music to my library? Apparently it has problems with large numbers of music.

By the way, thanks all you guys for the help :)

I still strongly recommend to switch to 7.6.1. (and do the upgrade according to the standard squeezebox installation procedure)
Do a re-scan with the new version on your smaller music folder just to see if everything is ok (which I suppose will happen), then re-configure your SBS by setting your music folder location into your real collection folder. And then do a full re-scan.

So far so good.

And then do a full re-scan.

I'll start scanning now.
