Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/koel/koel/issues/594

I managed to get Koel installed on Windows, and it seems to work perfectly, however I can't set the scanning up because it doesn't seem to like Windows directory structures. I type in S:\Music, it just sits there for ages and displays the "Just a little patience! animation, doing nothing.

The open CMD window doesn't display any errors. I'm trying this out alongside Libresonic, it's harder to set up but the interface seems nice. I've searched but the docs don't seem to mention it, only Linux style.

As an update, I have found that the system seems to be storing album covers, so the scan seems to be doing something, but nothing is showing in the library?

I would suggest scanning the library using the cmd option.

@SuperNerd-James When the "just a little patience" message is showing, do you see any errors in Chrome's console?
