XBMC scans entire drives, with no sources
#1
So I'm about at my wits end. I can't figure out why XBMC keeps scanning the entire root of my A drive, on both the computer it is running on as well as the one computer also on the network. I've never added either drive as a source, only specific folders on the networked computer on the drive, and never anything on the local A drive. I've removed every source which were folders on two separate drives (again, neither the A drive) and added them, several times, and still every single time it scans both A drives, which take time. It picks up some of my music and playlists as a music talk show of some sort, and a few movies I do have on the networked computer on that drive always get added. I checked the sources.xml file and no sources are there. You can see a debug log here: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7258811/ I've only just started using XBMC, and am slowly learning, but this problem seems to be beyond me. I've tried searching on and off the forum and haven't found anyone with this problem either.

Can you post the content of your sources.xml in %appdata%/XBMC/userdata/

This is it, but I've since added the two drives and selected to exclude them from scanning as a viable workaround along with the correct sources for movies and tv shows as well as added my music source. Before that there wasn't any paths defined except for the fusion one.

Code:
<sources>
    <programs>
        <default pathversion="1"></default>
    </programs>
    <video>
        <default pathversion="1"></default>
        <source>
            <name>A:</name>
            <path pathversion="1">A:\</path>
        </source>
        <source>
            <name>A</name>
            <path pathversion="1">smb://MAIN/A/</path>
        </source>
        <source>
            <name>Movies</name>
            <path pathversion="1">D:\Movies\</path>
        </source>
        <source>
            <name>TV Shows</name>
            <path pathversion="1">F:\TV Shows\</path>
        </source>
    </video>
    <music>
        <default pathversion="1"></default>
        <source>
            <name>Music</name>
            <path pathversion="1">A:\Music\</path>
        </source>
    </music>
    <pictures>
        <default pathversion="1"></default>
    </pictures>
    <files>
        <default pathversion="1"></default>
        <source>
            <name>fusion</name>
            <path pathversion="1">http://fusion.xbmchub.com/</path>
        </source>
    </files>
</sources>

Most likely the database holds something that was once on the A: drive.

You got A: currently defined as a Source, if you try to remove that source do you get asked if you want to update the Library, if so select yes.
