That's good to know, but I think it's calling it erroneously, in that case. When I look at the logfiles from my 10.8.9 backup, the word "ffprobe" is not contained within any of them, and I have a scheduled "Scan Media Libraries" job that fires at 12:00am every day. I assume that's maybe because I didn't add any new items during that period. What's happening since the 10.9 update is that ffprobe seems to be scanning several hundred files that are already in the library, which is then generating around 700 updates for Kodi to pointlessly sync each time. These files are the same each time (my library has around 2900 movies, and this only seems to affect around 700 files total, movies as well as subtitles), and are all videos that have been in my library for a very long time. As a result, each media scan takes a lot longer than the roughly one second it was taking before the update, and is definitely causing a great deal of hard drive usage, as well as slowing down the server as these scans are CPU intensive.
Beyond that, is it normal behaviour for the changing of a backdrop or poster image to trigger a full library scan? Did I just not notice the behaviour in previous versions because the scan was quick and uneventful?
