I've compiled the patch from 10721 into 0.25-fixes and it does not
solve my issue of

TagLib: Could not open file

as an experiment I placed only some of my files in the scan directory
and it seems to work, so it does look like an issue with the number of
files, but for some reason this patch is not solving it for me?
