While this is a not a major issue I have been experiencing some very odd and repeatable behavior when trying to use the "Music Folder" method to listen to a recording newly added to the music library without running a full "Look for new and changed media files" rescan .
A few details of my setup:
Logitech Media Server Version: 7.8.0 - 1392818344 @ Thu Feb 20 03:04:30 CUT 2014
Hostname: Jazzfan-PC
Server IP Address: 192.168.1.3
Server HTTP Port Number: 9000
Operating system: Windows 7 - EN - cp1252
Platform Architecture: 8664
Perl Version: 5.14.1 - MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
Database Version: DBD::SQLite 1.34_01 (sqlite 3.7.7.1)
Total Players Recognized: 7
With the music library spread across three external USB hard drives.
Description of problem:
When I try to use the "Music Folder" feature LMS will start to rescan the hard drive containing the new music files, e.g. if the new files are located on a subdirectory of drive H, LMS will begin a rescan of drive H, and be unable to access the hard drive with the new files, however the rescan does not finish and LMS just crashes, i.e. trying to abort the scan via the Setting screen does not work. I have to end the LMS process using Windows Task Manager. I then restart LMS and LMS will then continue to try to finish the rescan at which point I have to do a full hard reboot of the computer since the abort scan feature still does not work. Once the computer reboots LMS is running again I can then abort the scan and restart LMS.
What I find when the scan is finally aborted and LMS is restarted is that recent failed rescan is considered to be part of the previously finished automatic daily rescan, which of course makes no sense but this is what appears to be happening. And now I can use the "music folder" feature without an further incidents until after the next daily rescan when the whole process described above just reoccurs.
As I stated earlier this is not a major problem because I can just avoid using the "music folder" feature since I have plenty of other music to listen to.
Question: exactly what do I have to do to file a bug report?
