Isn't it possible to do a check on the PHP side if an update process really is running?
I play the music to listen to, thumbnails etc are nice but I don't care if they are missing.
Not being able to add new files because of missing metadata in some random individual file that has nothing to do with the new ones is a bit incomprehensible to me.
The new files are probably in an existing folder, so the operation 'update' is on directory level, again nothing to to with the metadata?
Isn't it MPD that needs the metadata to add to the database?
My guess is that the condition of currently playing / last played track decides if GLOBAL.libLoading and GLOBAL.libRendered exist and what their value is. So blocks a missing thumbnail the updating of a folder in the library.

I don't ask for new functionality, I am a happy user of the folders view.
Every now and then a new digital album is added to my collection. Regenerating the database costs a few hours. Updating a folder demands less of my patience. But that is not possible any more because of the eternal update process that seems to be running. Even if I only connect the set of DSD files that I converted from my SACD disks.
