maintain library slow and seems to redownload everything

[paulsalter]

Hi Again,

Not sure if this is a result of moving all my media onto an external hard drive but the maintain library is taking a very long time now (seems to be due to re downloading all data)

it scans through as it normally does, takes about 10 minutes to scan library

once this gets to around 85%, the figure for getting meta data and album covers starts increasing (until it has covered all my videos), it then spends 2 hours downloading around 1 gig of data (my BB is slow)

this happens everytime I do a maintain library, before Christmas it would take 20 to 30 minutes for the whole thing

Any thoughts

Cheers

EDIT: I tried doing a compact database but it made no difference
