Hi guys...
I'm working at scraping all my movies in the new htpc I built, and while it's working, it's incredibly slow.
I am set up as follows:
IMDB for scraper
[ ]scan automatically
[ ]folder contains a single video
[x]scan recursively
[ ]use folder names for lookups
The folder being scanned is on another windows computer across the network, and both are connected via cat-5. The fileshare is Samba.
Each movie is in it's own directory with xml-nfo files generated via XBMC companion. Each also has it's own locally stored fanart and .tbn, as well as a folder.jpg file.
It is moving along...scanning one movie every 25 seconds or so. Core CPU usage doesn't seem to get over 50%, and memory usage is only showing at about half of total.
So I guess...is this the average scan speed, or should it be going faster? I thought that by putting all the info in the .nfo files, it would find everything a lot faster...
