Problem importing large library
blgentry:
I recall there being several issues with WMA files. Are most of your files WMA? I don't think copy protected WMA files are supported. I also remember something strange happening with WMA support after Windows 10 did some update. I can't remember the details.

It is possible that the view you have selected is only a subset of the whole library. Try clicking on “recent albums” to see the lot. If you click on 1 album it is likely to say 10 tracks and 45 mins run time etc.

Yes, I know that, but typing CTRL-A to select all shows a low total as well.

Yes, most are WMA lossless files. They shouldn't be copy-protected.
I converted all my files to this format earlier this year because that's the only lossless format that my cars built-in audio systems (Chevrolet Volt and Bolt) support.
There were problems with the encoding step, but i finally got past it with help from JRiver. There were never any problems playing back the files, though.
All the files still show up in Media Center for Windows. I tried to create a brand new test library on Windows - MC is running import right now.

No problem with the import of the same files on Windows 10. Seems to be a problem on ARM/Linux.

Hmm. I've never used a WMA file with my system (MC for Mac). I'd expect WMA to be supported on all platforms but it *is* a proprietary MS format so...
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.
It's kind of complicated to explain how to do this unfortunately. Maybe someone else has a better idea to troubleshoot this.
I predict that your Windows import is going to work just fine with all 51k files.
