[Bug 435996] [NEW] Amarok repeatedly scans my collection

[Rob Valkass]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: amarok

The package and version I found the bug in: amarok - 2:2.0.2mysql5.1.30-0ubuntu3 (amd64)
The release of Kubuntu I'm using: Kubuntu 9.04
What I expected to happen: Amarok would play my music, and rescan my collection periodically for new content.
What happened instead: Amarok rescans my collection every 30 seconds or so, reaching 96%, pausing and giving up. It then continues a few seconds later from 0%. While it does this, it consumes 100% of my CPU. Each time it gives up scanning at 96% it makes the OSD pop up and display the currently playing track. Even if the music is stopped, the OSD will pop up every so often.

I have checked ~/.kde/share/apps//amarok/collection_scan.log after each
run. It always contains the same file path. However, when I remove the
file mentioned, it just gets replaced with another in the log next time,
and it still stops at 96%. The files are also all playable, so I don't
think it is crashing with particular files.
