Help Poweramp 2.0 constantly rescanning?

Ever since they updated this app it keeps scanning me library on its own. When this happens, the playlists I am currently playing disappears and I gots to manually hit RESCAN to get it back. Once I've gots me playlist playing again, it'll start scanning again and lose me playlists again ...etc. I emailed the dev but all I gets is some generic response saying to change me sd card. I've read other entrees from other places where they sent the person inquiring about a fix the same generic answer. WE DON'T EVEN HAVE SD CARDS!Has anybody else managed to find a solution to this problem? Has anybody else even ran into this?

Oops. This were supposed to be in the LTE section. Could a MOD please assist?
 
I don't know if I have a problem with Poweramp rescanning --- but it does seem to be a bit buggy for me. It is always running in the background. -free version- maybe it is always running in the background for scanning?
 
I'm pretty sure it's not taking up any extra resources when its running in the background. Android does that.;-). If it were scanning, you'd gets a notification saying so. Yours sounds like its doing what its supposed to be doing.
 
I noticed that too so I uninstalled it. I would have bought it but I hate seeing anything scanning constantly in the background.
 
Mine works fine and haven't noticed it running in the background. I have full version.

Try turning off Autoscan. Though mine is checked and I haven't noticed it scanning when it shouldn't be.

Also go into Music Folders and make sure only the folders with music you want available are checked.

Settings>Advanced>Folders/Library Scanner>Uncheck Auto-scan
 
I uninstalled it, deleted me old playlist, and re-installed the updated version and I haven't had a problem since.
 
I only noticed rescanning on certain kernels. For instance while running, franco's kernel, constant scanning. Literally one after the other. After switching to lean, no problems! Check your kernels.

Actually, I DID just swap out me Kernel from Francos to Imos. :eek: I were wondering if that had something to do with it. Very thanks for chiming in.
 
Mine started with Franco kernel, but now persists with Imo 1.7.1. I tried reinstalling app. Also tried turning off auto scan. I guess I'll have to live with it until I have time to wipe.

I never used imos 1.7.1 but 1.6.6 worked for me. No power amp problems with that one. I'm on codename 1.2.0 right now and its problem free too with the included kernel.

Make sure when flashing kernels you are wiping davlik and cache before you do so. ;)
