slow startup in video archive

[pastro]

I just installed the beta of video archive and when I enter the recordings screen, I get a please wait in the right top corner and after 10 minutes it's still sitting there.. Is this normal for the first startup of the plugin?

EDIT: And if I hit any buttons, I get a popup "Please wait for initialization to complete."
I ran the config but the only thing I did was uncheck the auto fetch info check box.
I ran it again and added a user. The first time I entered the recordings it asked for the pin, and I typed it in. An error message popped up with something was set to the instance. I entered the recordings again and now I get the please wait forever.
Any help appreciated.

No, that sounds like a bug. Can you zip up and post the log files from your jeff subdirectory.

Ok here they are.
I did notice it was trying to convert my database. I'm already on sqlite so it converted an empty database.

thanks

The problem is that your directory list includes the root drive c:. The video archive plug-in scans and monitors all subdirectorries under the root video directories you specify. Since c: is the root of your disk that is a lot to scan and monitor, and will take a very long time to startup. If you create a subdirectory for your recordings (e.g., c:\my recordings) and use that instead then startup should be fast.

Which directory list? The dirs that I setup in config for the main app are:

Video Library c:\myvideos and e:\my videos 2
recordings directory c:\myvideos
Live TV buffer c:\myvideos

In VA I have archive directory
c:\archivevideos

Paths for DVDs
c:\archivevideos


Nothing that I can see is c:\
