xbmc is scanning my root

Question 
Hi,

I have a slight problem, I dont know why but xmbc seems to be scanning all my folders, just everywhere outside my library...

It's taking hours for nothing.

Here's a log extract:

Code:
16:48:47 T:4120 M:1461956608  NOTICE: VideoInfoScanner: Starting scan ..
16:48:47 T:2700 M:1461796864    INFO: CD Analysis Report

...

I really cant find / in my library and therefore dont understand why xbmc is not limiting its scans to the specified folders.

Here-s the full log: http://pastebin.com/3NHw5HY8

Thank you.

Is it something to do with whatever's in the DVD drive? If you eject the DVD does it still try and scan the root?

I ejected both drives and it's still scanning everything, starting over just as the previous log.

Code:
18:33:13 T:1104 M:1508470784   DEBUG: VideoInfoScanner: No (new) information was found in dir /

Could this be caused by an addon ?

Wierd. Try renaming your database folder (or just delete it) then reset the source content and try a scan. Your database folder is E:\Users\Kianouch\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\Database.

Thanks. Yesterday I renamed my whole profile and created a new one, without adding tons of add-ons and it seems to work fine. I kept the old profile so I'll test this method when I'll be back at home tonight.

Now with my new profile the only problem is that xbmc is skipping a few of my TV shows, but I guess that might be documented somewhere.
