Ability to throttle background processes?

Now i understand what you did Awaiting their response.

As far as i can see in the code this is already supported:

Code:

else if (execute.Equals("updatelibrary") && params.size())
  {
    if (params[0].Equals("music"))
    {
      if (g_application.IsMusicScanning())
        g_application.StopMusicScan();
      else
        g_application.StartMusicScan(params.size() > 1 ? params[1] : "");
    }
    if (params[0].Equals("video"))
    {
      if (g_application.IsVideoScanning())
        g_application.StopVideoScan();
      else
        g_application.StartVideoScan(params.size() > 1 ? params[1] : "");
    }
  }

This part is executed with the updatelibrary function, if will check if a scan is already running and if it isn't starts the scan. If it is it will stop the scan. So you just need to run the updatelibrary function twice i think. Also the core of XBMC has no such thing as pausing the scan and continuing it:

Code:

void Start(const CStdString& strDirectory, int flags);
  void FetchAlbumInfo(const CStdString& strDirectory, bool refresh=false);
  void FetchArtistInfo(const CStdString& strDirectory, bool refresh=false);
  bool IsScanning();
  void Stop();
