It seems indeed to be a problem with playlists. I moved my playlists outside of my music directory and made a rescan (always with clearing the database). After this all songs were shown correctly in slim server.
I then changed in the settings of slim server the playlist directory to the directory where I moved the playlist to and made another rescan. Now the number of songs still were correct but when I browsed the playlist (comprising over 5000 songs) the title of all songs were empty so it was only showing "(artist) from album" instead of "title (artist) from album". Even when I browsed the album or the artist the title of the songs were not shown correctly. I then created a new playlist comprising only a few number (5) of songs and stored this in the playlist directory. After a rescan this playlist could be browsed correctly but the big one was still broken. I tried to reduce the size of this big playlist by deleting lines with an text editor to see if there is a certain number of entries from which on the problem starts. I always halved the number from about 5000 to 2500 to 1250 to 600 to 300 to 150 and finally to 5 (always making a complete rescan with clearing the cache) but for the songs which were included in the playlist the title was always empty during both browsing the playlist and browsing the album or artist. I finally deleted (moved away) the playlist completely and after a rescan everything was fine again. Then I moved the playlist (with only 5 entries) back but when browsing the playlist the title were still empty. Then I browsed to the songs of the playlist but by browsing the artist and here the title was suddenly shown correctly. I went back to browsing the playlist and now for this song the title was also shown correctly! Very strange!! So it seems that there is a problem with large playlists in 6.1b1 which was not there in 6.0.2. And it seems that once the problem arised simply reducing the size of the playlist and making a rescan does not help. Any ideas? -- dip _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
