I'm trying to set up mediatomb and all seems to be going well, insofar as I've been able to add directories and scan them, and view files from a kodi box. However, after adding a directory, mediatomb seems to be stuck on scanning a subdirectory and, having spun both CPU cores at 100% for an hour has not been able to get past it. It would seem that there is some file in the directory that is causing problems. Could anyone help me understand what the problem might be? TIA

mediatomb 0.12.1 on xubuntu 14.04.3
