Hi  
I’m running mopidy on an old Raspberry Pi. I only need the spotify streaming part. Startup is very slow: A couple of minutes. I believe this is probably because it does a scan on every startup. I have disabled local so I feel that I don’t need the scan at every startup.

- What happens when mopidy starts up?
- Is there a way to disable scan on startup?

Turn on verbose logging to see exactly what Mopidy does on startup. It does _not_ do a local scan.

almost 1.5 min between sending playlists\_loaded to CoreListener and starting Mopidy frontends.

Any idea how I can reduce those 1.5 minutes?
