Description
Watch Videos is taking a lot of time switching to the video browser. A bt from gdb showed a lot of nested scan_dir() calls. So I added a simple 'cout << "Scanning " << start_path << "...\n";' to the top of scan_dir().
The output shows it scanning the subtree of /home/cbaoth/Videos, which is the configured videostartupdir.. then it starts on the root file system for some odd reason.
Scanning /home/cbaoth/Videos/Top Gear/Season 11... Scanning /home/cbaoth/Videos/Torchwood... Scanning /... Scanning /bin... Scanning /boot... Scanning /boot/grub...
Mythvideo settings: VideoStartupDir is '/home/cbaoth/Videos' Default view: listings Show unknown file types is checked Video Browser|Gallery|List browses is checked
Using mythtv and plugins trunk rev 18198
(Had the similar issue with 0.21 release version where it at least scanned my entire homedir, but it was fixed somewhere along in fixes)

No response in 3 months and this code has changed recently. Closing.
I’ll need more information. The old bug was caused by not checking what the media monitor returned. If this is similar, output only in scan_dir() is insufficient. Put some unique output in ScanVideoDirectory() as well so it is possible to differentiate between some directory recursion problem (there are some, symlink loops being the worst I know of) and directories you don’t expect, being scanned intentionally (perhaps).
