Spontaneous Scanning

For the past 2 days, MusicCovered has been doing spontaneous scanning without my asking for it. It is a strange scan as it takes a fairly long time, much longer than a refresh.

Why do you think this is happening?

Hi!

A new MusicCovered update is coming very soon, including many bug fixes and stability improvements.

Regarding the unexpected scanning, could you give me a few more details about when exactly this happens?

Have you recently added any new music files to your library? If so, how did you add them? For example, did you copy them directly into one of the folders monitored by MusicCovered, or did you use another method?

Also, does the scanning start randomly while you’re using the app, or does it happen when you launch MusicCovered?

This information would help me better understand what’s triggering the scans and determine whether there’s an issue that needs to be fixed.

Thanks for your help and patience!

Hi,

I tried to do a library refresh and after 19%, it went directly to 100%.

So, I thought that before I go any further, I would do a full rescan and try everything again and see what happens. If these issues recur, I will let you know.
