Systematic rescan issue of some plugins with latest beta

[Henri75]

Hi,

With the latest beta, everytime I start AG it rescans a lot of plugin (and everytime the same ones !).

This is really annoying as the scan is really slow, and AG can needs several dozens of minutes to start !!
What makes it worst is when AG crashes, I can be stuck for half an hour up to an hour until the rescan is done and the AG server is up again.

I will post some full logs on that later. It was not the case with previous beta (up to beta 3 I think).

By the way I dont know how steinberg handle that, but their VST/VST3 plugin scan is incredibly faster than AG and some others (metaplugin is quite fast too, native is really slow like AG).

This is very strange. It looks like the directory setting problem to me. Are your plugins at the default directories?

A lot are indeed in additional directories (like AA stuff) and set in AG settings. But at least a few of the ones that are rescanned are in regular directory (even if most of them seems to be in additional folders, but may be it is because all acustica audio plugins are in additional folders) Le ven. 22 oct. 2021 à 16:51, CaBuffalo ***@***.***> a écrit :

Try to put those directories into the setting and see what happens.

All additional directories outside standard path are already added in settings. I noticed too that à lot of plugins that works in cubase, maschine and studio one are blacklisted. Moreover when i unblock them and they are rescan à few of them are finally validated. Which means with à lot of unblock and restart i got à lof of them to be finally available... Then there is those than will never be validated. A lof of them (may be half) are nebula setups and they works fine in daw. Really weird

I didnt touch it. What is the use ?

There is something weird because it is rescanning plugin that were previously validated .

I checked AG logs today, here is an example of one ot the hundreds of plugins rescanned every time (which means up to 1 hour after I boot my mac for AG to ready) :
