Firefly Database Loading Problem

[E-Rock]

Ok, please be gentle in your response. I’ve read some of the posts on this forum, and they’re mostly above my head. I don’t know where else to turn, so I’m asking for your help.

I’m running Windows Vista Home Edition. When I install Firefly, I get the following sequence of events:
Log file: firefly.log

Why is it rescanning the database? Why is it failing on the second scan? HELP???

Version information is as follows:
Firefly Service 1.0 svn-1359 C:Program FilesFirefly Media Serverfirefly.exe
FireflyShell 1.0 svn-1359 C:Program FilesFirefly Media ServerFireflyShell.exe
RSP Output Plugin 1.0 svn-1359 C:Program FilesFirefly Media Serverpluginsrsp.dll

WMA Transcoder Plugin 1.0 svn-1359 C:Program FilesFirefly Media Serverpluginsssc-wma.dll
Win32 Event Plugin 1.0 svn-1359 C:Program FilesFirefly Media Serverpluginsw32-event.dll

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Eric

This is something locking the database — a virus scanner or something of that nature.

First thing I’d do is get svn-1589 from the nightlies site: http://nightlies.mt-daapd.org. Don’t get the latest one, get 1589. That’s stable and works well, plus it’s switched to sqlite3 which has extra code in it to avoid db errors from locked files.

It rescans periodically to catch new files added. You can configure that from the web interface if you like. From the control panel, there is a link to the web administration panel. Go to “config”, and you’ll see a value for rescan interval. that’s in seconds. If you set it to 0, it’s disabled.

Otherwise, you can tune it to whatever you like.

Yell if that doesn’t fix you up.
