Stop scanning for metadata in music files

  • I have added a music source from a samba share. When I change to a specific directory on this share, which contains 462 mp3's (each 100-200 MB in size) a popup appears, telling me that LibreElec is scanning the files for metadata. This takes around a minute, and what's more, it annoys me not just once in a lifetime (of the system) but every time I want to quickly satisfy my music addiction from one of those files.;(

    I don't want no metadata, I am all satisfied with the file names of those files, which just takes a split second when I access the same directory from Windows 10. So I have disabled the media scan for the said smb share, but to no avail.

    How can I disable all metadata/media information scanning overhead and just show the raw directory content.
