Bugzilla – Bug 4294
Provide Feedback from the scanner as to scan progress.
Last modified: 2008-12-18 11:12:53 UTC
The webUI (and perhaps the player UI) need to have a scan indicator, possibly with detailed scan information available. See also bug 3267
My suggestion: In the status area on each page, show the number of tracks scanned so far and the pass number (What does the scanner make, including the VA/artwork scan - three passes?). At the point at which you know the total number of tracks in the library, also display the track total in the status info. E.g.: Scan in progress - Pass 1 of 3: 4,809 tracks scanned. Detail... ... Scan in progress - Pass 2 of 3: 9,809 of 14,524 tracks scanned. Detail... ... Scan in progress - Pass 3 of 3: 2,309 of 14,524 tracks scanned. Detail... Show additional detail on the Server/Settings page, in the 'Rescan Music Library' section. Provide a link ('Detail...') in the above progress bar to that page. There you'd show something like: Scan in progress... Type: Full clear/rescan Time started: 2:25:01 PM Ellapsed time: 00:12:04 Previous scan time: 00:23:45 Pass 1 (prescan): Completed at 00:02:01 Pass 2 (metadata): Completed at 00:19:58 Pass 3 (VA/artwork): 1,504 of 14,524 tracks scanned Add a refresh button to refresh the page (or display the above in an iframe so that the whole page isn't refreshed).

Triode has an initial version checked into trunk.
Chris - it would be useful to get feedback on what is currenly in trunk for this. If it meets all requirements then this could be closed?
Works in 7.0a1
I almost hate to ask this, but since 7.0 looks to be quite a way off, how hard would this be to port to the 6.5 branch? It appears to mostly stand by itself from the other changes planned for 7.0.
