Hmm.
There are two ways the app. can work, either monitor (removable) volumes, or
transcode a specific folder.
What you describe is that the app. is indexing a huge amount of drives.
Do check the 'volume MUST have folder' option.
Another PITA is and Apple bug that sometimes gives weird names to drives.
(Not visible by an end user, but used in 'some' parts of the OS, never been
able to nail it exact).
Nothing i can do about that now, except warn users NOT to use network
drives.
For Unitiy, it 'should' be possible to point the application to a specific
folder to transcode.
But that is in the second screen, so first you have to get there.
Do contact me direct if you experience trouble, i'm happy to guide you
trough the process.
