Big Library rescan issue

[j.mrtns]

Hello, 

I'd like to post about a strange behavior in rescanning files after updating a big library.

I have on my phone very big music library (≈37000 songs). I have issues when i update this library and want to update on Poweramp. If i move some folders on different places, and/or add new content, i have very hard time to scan this new items (while the older places still remains). I don't use automatic scan. Performing a regular rescan, a full rescan or deselecting/reselecting folders doesn't change a thing : The new files are not scanned and the older empty folder are not removed (but they are showed as empty). Also i noticed the rescan seems to work normally until it reaches 20000 files then stops every time. Is there a limit of 20000 files somewhere?

The only thing that works for me is to uninstall and reinstall the app and rescan the folders seperately by blocks < 20000 files (fortunately my library is splitted in two between internal storage and external storage), and finally reselect all my folders at once.

Thanks

I have over 20,000 songs on my phone and use full rescan almost exclusively. Like you I've had many occasions where I've copied new music to my phone over a USB cable and the rescan will not pick them up. Sometimes the rescan will see the folder and give a song count, but if you drill into the album, there's no songs. When I have this problem I've found that restarting the phone will correct whatever the problem is and another rescan will pick up all changes I've made.
