Hi --
It took me a while to figure out why Boxee only showed a few albums from my local music source (~/Music/iTunes/iTunes/) -- it just scans really slowly, and instead of waiting for the process to run, I was quitting the app and running Front Row :o.
So I've left Boxee running more or less continuously for the past couple days.
I found the "Library Status" screen, accessed by clicking "A" from any screen.
That gives me some summary stats:
Folder summary: Total (703), Resolved (234), Unresolved (468), New (0), Pending (0), Resolving (0), Aborted(0), Unavailable (1)
and it tells me the sub-directory it's currently resolving.
And there it sits, for the past day.
I don't know how to nudge it past this folder.
I see a couple posts with perhaps related problems, and there's advice to manually enter the album information, but I don't see how to do that (I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, so feel free to talk to me like I'm a six year old).
Seems like just the sort of question that is probably answered in the forums over and over, but I've had a hard time finding the answer.
How do I get Boxee to finish the library scan.
