Library Scan Enhancement Summary
📋 Project Overview
Focused enhancement of the NextAV library scanning system to address two critical data integrity issues that prevent the system from maintaining accurate database state.
🎯 Problem Statement
The current library scan implementation has two critical limitations:
- ❌ No File Deletion Handling - Database accumulates orphaned records when files are removed from disk
- ❌ No Thumbnail Recovery - Missing/corrupted thumbnails aren't detected or regenerated during re-scans
✅ Solution Overview
Simplified Scan Enhancement
Two-phase enhancement introducing:
- File Deletion Detection - Automatic cleanup of deleted files from database
- Thumbnail Verification - Detection and regeneration of missing thumbnails
📊 Implementation Phases
Single Phase: Core Data Integrity (🔴 Critical - 6-8 hours)
- File Deletion Detection - Automatically remove orphaned database entries
- Missing Thumbnail Regeneration - Detect and regenerate missing thumbnails
- Basic Error Handling - Log errors but continue processing
🏗️ Technical Architecture
Core Components
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Enhanced Scanner │
├────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 1. File Discovery (existing) │
│ 2. File Deletion Detection (NEW) │
│ 3. Thumbnail Verification (NEW) │
│ 4. Database Cleanup (NEW) │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Key Features
- File Existence Check - Verify database files still exist on disk
- Thumbnail Verification - Check if thumbnail files exist and are valid
- Database Cleanup - Remove orphaned media records
- Thumbnail Regeneration - Recreate missing thumbnails
📈 Key Improvements
Before vs After Comparison
| Aspect | Current System | Enhanced System |
|---|---|---|
| File Cleanup | ❌ Manual only | ✅ Automatic detection & removal |
| Thumbnail Management | ❌ No verification | ✅ Missing detection & regeneration |
| Data Integrity | ❌ Database drift | ✅ Database matches file system |
| Error Handling | ❌ Stops on errors | ✅ Continues with logging |
🎯 Core Capabilities Delivered
1. File Deletion Detection
- Automatic Cleanup: Detects and removes files deleted from disk
- Smart Detection: Compares file system state with database
- Safe Operations: Deletes only confirmed missing files
- Console Reporting: Logs cleanup actions
2. Thumbnail Recovery
- Existence Verification: Checks for missing thumbnail files
- Automatic Regeneration: Recreates missing thumbnails during scan
- Error Tolerance: Continues processing even if thumbnails fail
- Fallback Support: Uses type-based fallback thumbnails when needed
📊 Performance Metrics
Expected Performance
- Scan Speed: Similar to current implementation (no major changes)
- Memory Usage: <500MB for large libraries (same as current)
- Thumbnail Generation: <2 seconds average per file (same as current)
- Database Operations: <50ms per operation
Scalability
- File Count: Support libraries with existing file counts
- Library Size: Handle existing media collections efficiently
- Error Tolerance: Continue processing even with failures
🧪 Testing Coverage
Basic Test Suite
- Unit Tests: Core component validation
- Integration Tests: End-to-end scan workflow
- Manual Testing: Verify with real libraries
Test Scenarios
- File Deletion: Verify orphaned records removed
- Missing Thumbnails: Verify regeneration works
- Error Handling: Verify scan continues on failures
- Database Integrity: Verify no data corruption
