Indexer

The indexer is responsible for indexing the music library on the filesystem and populating the database with the available metadata and information.

The indexer runs in two stages:

1. Scan music directories - Scan the filesystem for new music files and store them in the database.
2. Extract album art - Extract and store the album art from newly indexed releases. Generate thumbnails for the frontend.

The following function executes both stages:

.. autofunction:: src.indexer.run_indexer

Code documentation for the indexer implementation is as follows:

Scan music directories

.. automodule:: src.indexer.scanner
