List of titles of a DVD ISO file gets doubled (almost always)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have ripped a DVD with 7 titles on it (1st title play all apisodes, 6
play single episodes).

The discovery of the titles seem to be very fragile concerning
timing/multi-threading issues. Most of the time when I access the folder I
get the following list on the PS3:

Title 1 02:23 hh:mm
Title 2 00:23 hh:mm
Title 3 00:23 hh:mm
Title 4 00:23 hh:mm
Title 5 00:23 hh:mm
Title 6 00:23 hh:mm
Title 7 00:23 hh:mm
Title 1 02:23 hh:mm
Title 2 00:23 hh:mm
Title 3 00:23 hh:mm
Title 4 00:23 hh:mm
Title 5 00:23 hh:mm
Title 6 00:23 hh:mm
Title 7 00:23 hh:mm

When I attach a debugger and set some breakpoints I noticed that sometimes
the list was correct, which means only 7 entries were showing up. And
sometimes I had Titles 1-7,1-3 in the list.

And by the way, the name "Title" seems not to localized.

And sometimes I also get "No title" when I enter the ISO image folder.

The "No title" appears when the PMS server takes too much time to analyze the 
ISO image.
It seems as if the PS3 has a timeout of 5 seconds. If the analysis takes 
longer, then
the text "no titles" appears.
My server machine is somewhat older so the file analysis is not as fast as on a
current hardware.
But the analysis happens far too often in my opinion:
I have the following folder layout 

Videos\   <- Added as folder to the media library
   Hör mal, wer da hämmert - Die komplette zweite Staffel (4 DVDs)\
      01.iso
      01.iso.jpg

On the PS3, when I browse into the "Hör mal, wer da hämmert - Die komplette 
zweite
Staffel (4 DVDs)" I get a sub-folder "[DVD ISO] 01.iso".

In the log I can see that mplayer is already launched 2 times, which seems to 
be one
time too often here.

When I now browse into the folder "[DVD ISO] 01.iso" on the PS3 I see in the 
log that
the mplayer analysis is executed another 15 times. And those 15 processes do not
terminate in time before the PS3 timeout occurs.

OK, I understand now that the subsequent mplayer forks are due to the flag "DVD 
ISO
Thumbnails". So the fork for each DVD Title is OK and the issue above can be 
reduced
to the original focus that the number of DVD titles varies under certain load 
conditions.

It's an old issue but I have this problem right now with the latest build.
Everytime I go back and look in the filestructures of moviefiles on the PS3 it 
multiplies the shown Titles. Sometimes I have 5 or 6 times ISO "Title X".
It only starts from where the Transcode folder is shown.

I also have this issue on the latest build (as of 19/03/2012). 

I cannot find a solution to the problem using suggested fixes I have found on 
the internet.

Any ideas?

I think it is a bug that affects everyone and I'm not sure what causes it, 
sorry.
