Server keeps refreshing itself when failed to load music files

[Colin5887]

Here is how to trigger it:

• Set up the LMS with everything by default
• Set the Media root directory and do a scan so there is some music in it.
• [Not sure if necessary] Go to pick some music and let it play. Just make sure your Play Queue is not empty.
• [I'm not sure if it's important but] Do not shut the service down
• Remove some music files, add some, rename some. Just do some changes to the music files.
• Go to the web player page. It keeps refreshing.

I mean, it's okay to refresh the page when there are some errors. But it refreshes every second making it impossible to do another scan and fix everything. After like 10 minutes, I managed to:

• Arrive at the Play Queue page and Clear everything.
• Rename my music folder from /home/pi/Music to /home/pi/Music1
• It eventually stops. I can finally do a Force Full Scan and everything is fixed.

Can we make the server do not refresh when it cannot play the music? It could do a force refresh and cleanup the database instead.

I believe this is an issue because I need to update my music from time to time and I don't want it this hard because my operations are interrupted by page refreshing.

Hmmm this is indeed not a normal behavior. What do you mean by refreshing?
Does the server actually stop and start every second? You can check that in the logs
Normally missing files are just skipped, I have to check if the "repeat all" option properly handle that case.

Sorry I can't attach the log on Github because You can't comment at this time — your comment is too long (maximum is 65536 characters).

And by saying refreshing, I mean the web page behaves as if I pressed the F5 key.

Thanks for your logs, I managed to reproduce/fix it.
