Music Library scan ignoring first 100 or so subfolders of my first shared folder.

 

I have a shared drive with music. The top directory structure of the folder looks like this:

/1

/2

/3

Each of these top level folders has subfolders named /Bandname (whatever the name of the band is). There are thousands of files. around 2TB or so of music.

This worked pretty well for a long time now after Sonos re-enabled this functionality with the app revamp.

For whatever reason Sonos library scan is now ignoring the first 100 or so subfolders of only the very first folder /1. The rest of the folders are fine. 

 

I fiddled with this drive, defraged it, renamed the folder, dragged the files off, defraged again, put the files back, renamed the drive itself, changed the drive letter. Sonos scan still ignores them. 

 

Could be that 1 or more speakers has a corrupt or full memory? Would resetting 1 speaker fix it? Anybody ever see this? Don't want to reset every speaker in the house. Seems extreme.

Run the index, submit a diagnostic and call Sonos, they can see internal log data we users can't.

 Are you seeing that in the “Folder” view?
