Problem importing large library

I would create a new view called "Everything" to show not only Audio files, but everything else: Video, Images, Data, etc. It's possible that MC has imported the files, but with the wrong Media Type. That happens every now and then.

I just created a view by "disk location" in the root of MC. It shows 5003 files now with CTRL-A. Not sure why 3 more, but it's still missing a whole bunch.
Anyway, I am using MC for audio only. I would use something other than WMA if my car supported it, but its that or lossy MP3, so I choose WMA.

Sounds like a bug if so. This was a simple import with library created from scratch, and completely reproducible.

Yes, it did.

Customize your disk location view (right click > customize view). Then do: Settings > Included Files > use parent scheme rules > (unchecked)
This should show you everything, including "non audio" files.

It's also worth checking:
Customize View > Settings > Included Files > Set rules for file display
Make sure there isn't a rule there to limit by Media Type.

Thanks. Unchecked this, but it didn't show any more files.
There was no rule under included files.
I'm still stumped by this.
I can use the PC as media server right now, but it uses 50-100x as much power as either the Odroid XU4 or the Pi, so this is not a long term solution.

Another test I just did :
On Windows, if I search for "mp3", I find that I have 12,225 MP3 files. I kept them in this format since that's how I got them in the first place, and converting to a lossless format would only waste space. Both car audio systems support MP3 as well.
On Linux on my ODroid, the same search in Media Center finds only 1,542 MP3 files.
find . |grep -i mp3 | wc -l
outputs 12225, so all the mp3 files are there on the Odroid too.
So, I think this confirms that the problem is not specific to WMA files, it seems related to the library size.
I would really appreciate if somebody from JRiver could chime in on this.
