I have all my data on a USB drive attached to the hub which works perfectly when the media library is turned off. I would of course like every one to have all the correct metadata for my movies and when I turn the media library on disaster strikes…
the hub sometime freezes and wont let me control it
the white light on the front continually flashes (for over 24hours now)
says it is compiling media library (again has been doing this for same time the light has been flashing)
I have about 5-6 TB but thats internal/external and external and PC shares, 99 % Video files though.
It sounds like its struggling with something, maybe try disconnecting the drive and sticking it on a PC and see if it has any errors. I doubt it, but its worth a go.
When I went to this firmware, I was way back at 2.xxx just for themes, on that note there really is only 1 modified theme for thisand its early beta, reference your other question.
Anyway my point is, I had only folders with video files only, no old movie sheets, xmls, anything, just to give the Hub a fighting chance.
All I can say is keep plugging away, just to bring you down a bit, these boxes seem to do different things to different people, so sometimes its pure luck in what you do.
The drives should be fine there are no errors. The USB drive is a drobo which is a 4bay drive with raid array and constantly checks drives for bad sectors etc…
I have done what you suggested and it’s still scanning since previous advice with no joy. When I deleted the media library I just did it through the hub on the clear media library option would it have been a better idea to remove it via network and physically delete files? I have XML files and jpgs etc in all the movie folders from when I used xbmc…
Yeah not such a simple setup as mine, I have a more simple setup and I cleaned up the drives to save any problems. I just dragged all Xmls and Jpgs to a backup folder on each drive, so they are still there as such. But not had any major issues…

Are the 4 drives set up as a single RAID volume on the Drobo? If the Library compiled okay with the other USB drive it’s possible there is a compatibility problem with the Drobo. Or the Library compile could be getting “stuck” if it has problems reading a file.
Try just adding a small folder and see if that compiles okay.
