I have MM5 installed on one machine with the DLNA server enabled and MM5 on another machine as one client.
When I went in the Add/Rescan files to library menu, I saw that there also an option to scan another media server.
Cool! So I tested this but the scan comes never to an end. After all files are scanned, there's a delay and MM5 starts again.
When I looked closely I saw that the path is <server>\<collection>\$\<songs> in the 2nd scan and every following scan adds another $ sign. Initially I let the scan run over night. The next morning MM5 was (successfully) scanning something like <server>\<collection>\$\$\$\$\$\$\$\<songs>
I forgot to make a screenshot but the behaviour is reproducible.
Please find two screenshots here

A log (step 4b) from the scanning MediaMonkey would be very helpful: https://mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=86643 and attach it to a Support Ticket.

Thanks for reporting!
This issue actually happens also with chars like '@', to be fixed as https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=18773
Temporal workaround should be to disable 'All files' node from sharing (in Options > Media Sharing > > Shared Content)
