Bugzilla – Bug 10429
Option to not scan in artwork.
Last modified: 2009-10-20 20:04:10 UTC
Customer would like to have an option put into SqueezeCenter to NOT scan in artwork. Basically a skip artwork scan button or something along those lines.
should be tied in with bug 9919
this is interesting. a no art scan. a art only scan. and a total scan, music and art. seems like good ideas to me, esp for infrant users.
(In reply to comment #2) > a art only scan. That would be bug 4874. In truth, though, this may only really be necessary if the normal scanning and artwork cataloging don't work as spec'd. They've been working extremely well for me in the last three or four SqueezeCenter releases.
i can see cases, like infrant ones, where a user would want only art, or no art, etc... its not that SC is out of spec, its a question of how long must u wait?
PLEASE let us disable this scan. I have more than 96,000 items in my iTunes library. It's taking more than 24 hours to scan all the art every time iTunes updates its software or I revise my libary. Worse, I don't use the artwork anyway because I have a traditional Squeezebox, not a Duet.
Andy will review the performance for 7.4 and see if this is still necessary.
Moving 7.4 bugs to 8.0.
This option has been available for quite a while already: disable Settings/Advanced/Performance/Pre-Cache Artwork
that ability is good, but it doesn't address my desires, and i'd guess others who care about this. i want the ability to scan ONLY for art, and the ability to scan for music only, WITHOUT scanning for art. i want to be able to choose these right in the same dropdown box i manually start other existing scan types in already. i don't want to go deep into options to do it, and really, that option is only about caching, something i would always keep on anyway.

== Auto-comment from SVN commit #28913 to the slim repo by andy == == https://svn.slimdevices.com/slim?view=revision&revision=28913 == Fixed bug 10429, add a pref for iTunes artwork scanning, scanning is now disabled by default due to the high number of problems with this feature
Thanks for sorting this, will this be in tonight's build.?
Verified 7.4.1 r28916 now includes an option (unchecked by default) to "Extract iTunes Artwork"
can someone please explain how this became an itunes bug? or am i missing something? it seems to me that what was asked for here was an option to not scan for artwork period, not just to exclude itunes users art. yet the "solution" seems to be about only excluding itunes art... if i have that right, this bug was not fully/properly solved, yes?
